Since the kind folks at Devart are intimately involved with Entity Framework and code generation I was hoping someone could help me get code generation working again.
Everything was fine until I installed Visual Studio 11 Beta. At that point Visual Studio 11 Beta would no generate entities AND Visual Studio 2010 would also not generate entites. I really do not care about Visual Studio 11 Beta so I deinstalled it. However, Visual Studio 2010 is still broken. Here is the scenario with Visual Studio 2010.
- Add ADO.Net Entity Data Model to a project.
- Specify an Oracle DB
- Specify Generate entities from DB
- A list of tables and views appears.
- Select a table and press next.
- Exception is generated. "Unable to generate the model because of the following exception: 'The data reader returned by the store data provider does not have enough columns for the query requested.'
To resolve this I have tried the following:
Deinstalled Visual Studio 11 Beta. No change in behavior
Deinstalled the Visual Studio 2010 EF 4 tools and Reinstalled the Visual Studio 2010 EF 4 tools. No change in behavior.
Deinstall Visual Studio 2010. Reinstall Visual Studio 2010. No change in behavior.
I suspect the generator is still tied to some bits from Visual Studio 11 Beta, but I do not know the details. Can anyone suggest some things to try to fix this issue? I really do not want to reload this development system.
Thanks,
Jerry
