  • 0

I have a table with a SQL Geometry column. Now I’m trying to work with EF but the mapper doesn’t want to include it (it should be supported by now, as I saw here). Also, I can’t find the Spatial Types in the EF Designer as I saw here.

I have done so far:

PM> Install-Package EntityFramework –IncludePrerelease
'EntityFramework 5.0.0-beta2' already installed.
MyProject already has a reference to 'EntityFramework 5.0.0-beta2'.

and after this, the version of the referenced EnitiyFramework.dll is:

4.4.0.0

    Sadly, if you are targeting .net 4, it would not work: Some features are only available when writing an application that targets .NET 4.5. This includes enum support, spatial data types, table-valued functions and the performance improvements. If you are targeting .NET 4.0 you still get all the bug fixes and other minor improvements.

    Also, if you are targeting 4.5, look here: How to get enums working in mvc4 with Entity Framework 5 Beta 2?
