We’re currently developing an application that is using EF Code first (EF June 2011 CTP).
My first question is: Is it worth trying to upgrade to use a later version of EF?
Secondly, if so, does anyone know the steps involved to upgrade – when I try to install the NuGet package for EF 5.0 – beta 2, I end up with issues as the target framework is still 4.2.
Many thanks,
James.
The CTP is long time dead with no other version coming because all that stuff is currently part of .NET 4.5 beta and EF 5.0 beta. You must upgrade to those two and the upgrade will consist of re-targeting application back to .NET 4.0 / .NET 4.5, removing all dependencies to your current EF version and re-adding those dependencies for .NET 4.5 / EF 5.0.
