Does dotConnect for MySQL support Self-Tracking entities?

The CTP 4 support was discussed here at our forum.
The dummy implementation of the DatabaseExists method will be available in the nearest build.
However, the SetInitializer workaround is still necessary.

I'm primarily interested in the following approach:

Code: Select all

public void Update(Entity entity)
{
   using (var ctx = new RepositoryContext())
   {
       ctx.Entities.ApplyChanges(entity);
       ctx.SaveChanges();
   }
}

Is it supported? I ask because 1. it doesn't work in MySQL official provider 2. I can't test it using your provider as I get "connection lost" exception described in one of the above topics.

There should be no problems with this approach.
