Can someone explain how I can update an existing project using EF 4.1 to use the latest EF 5.x in Visual Studio 2010?
I have already used NuGet to download the EF 5.x code. Is it simply a matter of replacing the reference of ‘EntityFramework’ to the one from EF 5.x? If so where is the EF 5.x code stored on my local drive? With EF 4.1 there was a directory called ‘Microsoft Entity Framework 4.1’ but I don’t see anything like that for EF 5.x.
When you download the package from NuGet it will add the references for you, if you want to locate the binaries (although you shouldn’t have to) they can be found in the /packages folder in the root of your solution.
You can double-check the reference has been added by expanding the ‘References’ solution folder as normal.
