The code I have inherited is using the three Entity Framework installers from here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/adonet/archive/2011/06/30/announcing-the-microsoft-entity-framework-june-2011-ctp.aspx
It has now been flagged that these three are CTP releases and are not going to be suitable going forward in development.
I have seen there has been a new release of the entity framework here: http://nuget.org/packages/EntityFramework/4.2.0.0/Download
So I de-installed all of the CTPs and downloaded this and the compile fails because of missing DbGeography and Spatial
So where are these available from? If they are not available in none CTP code then what are there alternatives available to handle their functionality?
Nowhere. EF 4.2 doesn’t contain them. Features from CTP “should” be included in .NET 4.5.
