Devart Forums

Hi,

I have recently picked up a legacy silverlight app using Devart for Oracle. I have to migrate to using SQLServer. I am using the Devart for SQLServer libraries, and this is ok for some of the code that doesnt use the Devart Entity Framework, but the problem I have is when a context object tries to generate a List. I get the error message:

SqlServerProviderFactory' does not implement the IServiceProvider

I have see from the devart docs that the Oracle equivalent of the ProviderFactory does inherit IServiceProvider, but the SqlServer version doesn't.

Is this just a configuration problem that I have missed, or do the SqlServer libraries fall short here and I have to implement everything without the Entity Framework?

Thanks for your help.

dotConnect for SQL Server doesn't support Entity Framework.

We recommend you to use the following products for working with SQL Server via Entity Framework:
* standard System.Data.SqlClient
* Entity Developer for Entity Framework (it works via System.Data.SqlClient)

Thanks,

That was what I was afraid of. Using the oldest version of standard System.Data.SqlClient requires bumping up a version on another dependent library in the project, which is not supported by silverlight.

I will code it the hard way without the Entity Framework.
