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 .

Npgsql Tips: Using " in (...)" queries with parameters list and "any" operator

Hi, all! We have received some users questions about how to send a list of values to be used in queries using the "in" operator. Something like: select foo, bar from table where foo in (blah1, blah2, blah3); Npgsql supports array-like parameter values and the first idea to have this working would try to use it directly: NpgsqlCommand command = new NpgsqlCommand("select * from tablee where field_serial in (:parameterlist)", conn); ArrayList l = new ArrayList(); l.Add(5); l.Add(6); command.Parameters.Add(new NpgsqlParameter("parameterlist", NpgsqlDbType.Array | NpgsqlDbType.Integer)); command.Parameters[0].Value = l.ToArray(); NpgsqlDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader(); but unfortunately this won't work as expected. Npgsql will send a query like this: select * from tablee where field_serial in ((array[5,6])::int4[]) And Postgresql will complain with the followin...

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 ...

Npgsql Design time support preview available for download!

UPDATE2 : For some reason, Blogger lost the original post. I had to republish it. UPDATE : Jerónimo told me that you  must  use the Npgsql version which is inside the zip file in order to make it work. After so much time (more than I wanted it to take) Npgsql finally has a initial design time support for Visual Studio! This work was done by Jerónimo Milea. Jerónimo let me know he was working on DDEX support on this thread  after I said I was working on DDEX support for Npgsql. He sent me his working copy and I started to play with it. Note that as a preview version many things may not work ok and we wanted you to provide us feedback so we can fix any bugs. You can download the project file from our downloads page . Design time support is provided as a zip file containing support code as well as a copy of Npgsql project file. So, everything you need to start working with design time support is already packaged for you. When you unzip the file, you will have ...
