Using Build 4.30.24.0 with Visual Studio 2008, Entity Framework beta 3 etc, the following simple code fails:

        public static user Authenticate(string Username, string Password)
        {
            Entities context = new Entities(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Entities"].ConnectionString);
            user user = (from u in context.user
                         where u.Username == Username
                         where u.Password == Password
                         select u).First();
            return user;
        }

Exception is:
Test method TestProject1.UserTest.AuthenticateTest threw exception: System.Data.CommandCompilationException: An error occurred while preparing the command definition, see the inner exception for details. ---> System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid..

The same conditions (as far as possible) using MSSQL works fine. Comparing by int works fine too:

Code: Select all

        public static user GetById(int Id)
        {
            Entities context = new Entities(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Entities"].ConnectionString);
            user user = (from u in context.user
                         where u.UserID == Id
                         select u).First();
            return user;
        }

Any updated builds would be appreciated, we're currently evaluating the connector with a view to using it for our new systems.[/code]

I couldn't reproduce the error.
Please send me a small test project to reproduce the problem.
It is desirable to use 'test' schema objects, otherwise include the
definition of your own database objects.
Do not use third party components.
If it is impossible for you to create the test project, send us a piece of
your code where the error occurs.

This is the most basic project I could do that produces the problem. It doesn't contain anything that wasn't in my previous post.

We will try to fix this bug in the nearest time.

I'd be willing to test any beta builds that might fix the issue.

Posted: **Thu 07 Feb 2008 10:00**

We have an intention to issue a new build next week.

Any updates on when you intend to issue a new build?

Posted: **Wed 13 Feb 2008 13:17**

Currently we are testing a new build.
Probably at the end of this week we will issue it.
But unfortunately the new build won't include a fix of the bug you are interested in.
The problem appears to be more complicated than expected, resulting in a solution delay.
We are still working on the problem. At this time we can't specify when exactly the bug will be fixed.

Sorry to keep hassling, any update on this?

Posted: **Wed 20 Feb 2008 13:41**

Yes, we have fixed the bug.
The build will be available for download next week.

Excellent news, thanks very much

Welcome!
Look forward to the next build.
We will make an announcement soon.
