Devart is glad to announce the release of the new version of dotConnect for Oracle, enhanced database connectivity solution, built over the ADO.NET architecture, that supports Entity Framework and LinqConnect ORM solutions. New dotConnect for Oracle offers you support for Entity Framework 6 Alpha 2.
Now our users can use such Entity Framework 6 features as custom Code-First conventions, which allow you to easily configure default property mapping or other settings, support for enums and spatials on .NET Framework 4.0, code-based configuration, better performance, etc.
dotConnect for Oracle now supports Entity Framework Spatials on .NET Framework 4.0.
Entity Developer also supports creating and designing Entity Framework 6 models. When creating or editing an Entity Framework model, you can set the target Entity Framework version in the Model Settings. Entity Developer generates valid code, compatible with Entity Framework 6.
You can read more about Entity Framework 6 support in our blog article Entity Framework 6 Support for Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite and Salesforce.
