Hi,

I am new to CSLA. And got stuck up.

i am getting the following error when using the Entity frameework.

Error 1 The type 'ShasPatho.DalEf.ShasPathoEntities' cannot be used as type parameter 'C' in the generic type or method 'Csla.Data.ObjectContextManager<C>'. There is no implicit reference conversion from 'ShasPatho.DalEf.ShasPathoEntities' to 'System.Data.Objects.ObjectContext'.

any help would be great.

regards

ashish

Hi,

Seems like your EFContext is of type DbContext and not ObjectContext. For more information see:
http://www.entityframeworktutorial.net/EntityFramework4.3/dbcontext-vs-objectcontext.aspx

The DbContext is not part of .NET Framework and exists in the EF X assemblies. So you need to add a NuGet reference to the Csla .NET ADO.NET EF X package and use the DbContextManager class instead.

This is done so that CSLA is not limited to a specific version of EF.

Hi,

Still the sample problem. Added CSLA.Net ADO.NET EF 6.0 package. see attached file.

@ashish Same here. I have referenced Csla.Data.EF6, but I still get the error, because ObjectContextManager is in the Csla.Data namespace.

Csla.Data.EF6 only seems to contain the DbContextManager. Did you ever figure out this one? Does CSLA force us to use DbContext with EF6?
