Does anyone know of the Object Manager Enterprise Plugin for Visual Studio 2010?
I am using DB4O on a new project I am playing with and it would not help me if I could use the Object Manager Enterprise utility. I understand that it is only available as a VS plugin, so does anyone know if this plugin will / will be available for Visual Studio 2010, or is there any other way to get this utility?

There is currently no Visual Studio version for Visual Studio 2010 version. = (
Several suggestions for alternatives:
-
If you still have Visual Studio 2008 or 2005, you can use the existing Object Manager for those versions.
-
You can use LINQPad for db4o as suggested here on SO . However, this only works when loading your domain model into LINQPad
-
You can use the Object Manager plugin for Eclipse. This version is distributed with the Java version of db4o. So you need to download Eclipse and java-db4o. However, this version of Object Manager does not fully understand .NET types, so some objects display correctly.

OME will be available for VS2010 when we introduce .NET 4.0 support.
In the meantime, you can try installing the OME that comes with the db4o.NET 3.5 package and change the OMAddin.AddIn configuration file from "% mydocuments% \ Visual Studio 2008 \ Addins \" to "% mydocuments% \ Visual Studio 2010 \ Addins \" (if this folder doesn't exist, just create it)
Then open OMAddin.AddIn and change the line:
<version> 9.0 </ & GT version;
to
<version> 10.0 </ & GT version;
Now, after starting VS 2010, OME should work and you should see its toolbar (I have this procedure with VS 2010 beta2 and it worked).
The best
