How does Devart determine what EF DLL to use?
Posted: Sun 25 Mar 2018 15:28
Hi,
I am having an issue after upgrading from 8.5 to 9.5 of dotConnect. Between those releases Devart renamed the EF DLLs to have the EF version encoded in the filename (a good move!).
The issue I am having is that after the upgrade, and without changing anything in the consuming project, I am getting an error like this:
This is a EF1 project (needs to be .NET 3.5) and the Devart.Data.Oracle.Entity.EF1 DLL is alongside the application (in addition to Devart.Data.dll and Devart.Data.Oracle.dll).
What in the project does Devart.Data.Oracle.OracleProviderFactory use to determine that it needs to load EF5 rather than EF1?
It's crunch time on a delivery (and we need a fix from this release) so any tips would be appreciated!
