Devart is glad to announce the release of dotConnect for PostgreSQL 7.9, Devart ADO.NET data provider for PostgreSQL with support for Entity Framework, LinqConnect (LINQ to PostgreSQL) and NHibernate. The new version offers you support for .NET Core and Entity Framework Core 1.1.2.
Since .NET Core is limited in comparison to Full .NET Framework, not all provider features, available for Full .NET Framework are also available for .NET Core. Namely, there are no DataSet and DataTable features, support for Sync Framework, Workflow Foundation, and Enterprise Library. You can see the full list of features, not supported on .NET Core, in the dotConnect for PostgreSQL documentation.
.NET Standard compatible assemblies use different licensing mechanism than assemblies for Full .NET Framework. They use either license key files placed to a specific folder (C:\ProgramData\Devart\dotConnect\License\) or license keys provided as a connection string parameter. Note that trial license key files are generated by the trial installers of our products. If you want to try the .NET Standard compatible assemblies of our products, distributed via NuGet packages, you will still need to install the product in order to obtain the trial license key file. You can find more information about technical licensing in the dotConnect for PostgreSQL documentation.
