ObjectContextManager with Entity Framework

russelle posted on Saturday, September 26, 2009

I'm trying to use the ObjectContextManager with the Entity Framework. When I declare the context normally like this:

using (var ctx = new FBAEntities())

everything works fine. When I try to do this:

using (var ctx = ObjectContextManager<FoodBankAdmin.DAL.EntityFramework.FBAEntities>
.GetManager(FoodBankAdmin.DAL.EntityFramework.Database.FoodBankAdmin))

the statement

var listTypes = from lt in ctx.GetListType(_criteria.LanguageID,
_criteria.ListType) select lt;

gives me the following error:

‘Csla.Data.ObjectContextManager' does not contain a definition for 'GetListType' and no extension method 'GetListType' accepting a first argument of type 'Csla.Data.ObjectContextManager' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I don't see any missing reference or USING statement. Any idea what is going on?

Thanks,
Russell
