Ok, so I installed EF 4.2 from NuGet. Just did Install-Package EntityFramework. That’s all I’ve done.
Now what?
How do I know I’m using the new Framework and not the old one.
I have an existing project previously with EF 4.0. I’m also using precompiled views and custom text templates. Everything looks exactly the same after I did the update.
There will be no change in existing project. EFv4.2 contains code first mapping approach and DbContext API – neither of those affects existing EFv4.0 projection. It also contains few minor helpers like strongly typed
Includebut you must use them in your code. That is not something that will magically change existing code.
