ADO.Net Entity Framework

Andrew Dearden

We're just getting started on serious development in V9.1 and we are aware of how we can use .Net assemblies. What we were wondering was whether it is possible to make use of the ADO.Net Entity Framework to manage access to external tables etc? Is this compatible with Metastorm and has anybody tried it? Would it have to be the .Net 3.5 version, since Metastorm itself uses it?

 

Many thanks for any advice you can offer.

Hello Andrew,
I don't use EF in my Metastorm assemblies, but I've used other .NET 3.5 features (LINQ to SQL etc) and it works for me. So I guess EF should work too.
My assemblies are 2.0 and 3.5 versions, Metastorm engine can handle both. AFAIK EF is supported since 3.5, so you should use 3.5.
