Where is vs.net design time support?


You may already know that VS.Net design time support has started a long time ago and didn't have too much support since then. 

Now that Npgsql release 2.0.12 is out, I want to put more attention to finish a version which adds design time support. I noticed that this is the biggest missing feature in Npgsql and I want to fix that. Npgsql users deserve to be able to use VS.Net design time support to help them create better apps which access Postgresql databases.

Although I can't give any concrete timeframe of when it will be available, I want you to know that I'm focused on this feature and it is not stalled. I hope to be able to give you more information soon.

Stay tuned.

I would like to try how Npgsql work in some "real situation" and maybe I can switch from ODBC system to Npgsql. For start I see that Npgsql is a bit slower than native windows data system .

Using Entity Framework 6 with Npgsql 2.1.0

UPDATE (2014-05-19): Marek Beneš noticed a problem in the default connection factory config. It is fixed now. Thanks, Marek! UPDATE (2014-02-20): I created a new post explaining how to get Npgsql 2.1.0. Although this post is about EF 6, I'd like to talk about our current situation to support both EF 6 and EF4.x which explain why there are some subtle changes between EF 4.x and EF 6.x App.config settings.  Support for EF versions 4.x and 6.x Sometime after we started to work on Npgsql 2.1.0, we started to add code to support EF6 and decided to reorganize our Entity Framework support code. Shay created a pull request to organize this change and isolate the EF code out of core Npgsql code. The result was the creation of two separated assemblies: Npgsql.EntityFramework.dll for EF6 and above; Npgsql.EntityFrameworkLegacy.dll for EF4.x. Only when using Npgsql with EF6 you will need to reference Npgsql.EntityFramework.dll assembly. This is needed because the EF

Initial EF-6 support added to Npgsql

In my last post , I said there is a pull request by Pēteris Ņikiforovs to add support for EF-6 to Npgsql. Yesterday, I merged this pull request to the master branch of Npgsql . With this merge, Npgsql has officially initial support for EF-6! How to compile For now, in order to compile Npgsql to use EF-6, you have to open the solution file NpgsqlEF6.sln. Later,  as suggested by Pēteris Ņikiforovs , the idea is that we create a new configuration inside main project solution instead of maintain 2 separated projects. Another thing you will need to compile Npgsql is the latest release of EntityFramework assembly through NuGet: PM> Install-Package EntityFramework -Pre That's it! Now you will be able to play with Npgsql and EF-6. Check out my previous post about how to use Npgsql with EntityFramework. I'd like to thank Pēteris Ņikiforovs for his patch. And maxbundchen for his patch about Open/Close events needed for EF-6. Please, give it a try and let me know how it
