Dear users,
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 Oracle Spatial and SharpMap in Entity Framework. Oracle MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY object type can now be mapped to DbGeometry and DbGeography classes.
For more details about the new version of dotConnect for Oracle see Spatials Support for Entity Framework in dotConnect for Oracle!.
We have created a demo application that shows how to work with Oracle Spatial using Entity Framework and the SharpMap library with dotConnect for Oracle. It demonstrates finding distances between cities, finding the area of regions, and displaying spatial data on a map via the SharpMap library. You can read more about the demo and download its sources at our blog.
You are welcome to download dotConnect for Oracle.
If you wish to provide feedback on the new version, you can do it on our forums or with the contact form. There is also a feedback form, and we are always glad to have your comments and take into account your development needs.
