Option to delete entity class files when regenerating #767

Open NeilN1 opened 1 year ago

Can we have the option to delete entity class and related files when a tt file is saved and the entity no longer exists in the database or the entity is renamed using the renaming service?

It already does this for the older .NET Framework projects, using Settings.FileManagerType = FileManagerType.VisualStudio;. However for EFCore projects this is more tricky as the .csproj project file does not contain any .cs filenames.

I fully understand what you need, but we also have to be careful with which files we delete.

I do have a solution in mind, and it's to log the files generated in a ReversePocoGenerated.txt file. This can be read in by the generator, files deleted, and re-created again. It would also serve as documentation to what the generator created.

Okay, thanks for the consideration.
