Entity Framework Code First - is there a way to create a model diagram from POCO classes

I am really entering the new features of the first Entity Framework code (now on CTP5 at the moment). One thing that would be an ace would be the ability to generate some kind of model diagram from the POCO classes that I create.

Is there such a tool? I prefer, if possible, an open source solution.

Greetings. Jac.

In Visual Studio, you can always use the built-in class diagram.

The guys at MS ADO.NET have released a tool that is amazing for diagramming your context EF Code-First. There is more to your EF model than just POCO classes — for example, an API that supports mapping — and the tool takes it into account.

Without further ado, this is an extension of VSE EF Power Tools (beta 2 at time of writing)

Read all about how to install and use it on the ADO.NET post-related blog.

Be warned, the chart is read-only, but what do you expect when the input for it will be your own code?
