Hi folks,

can dotConnect for SQLite do the following against an Entity Framework V4 ?

1. Model First -> generate DB schema(s)
2. DateTimeOffset property type.

cheers :)

We are unable to add EDM Designer support in design time, so there is no Model First design time support.
We plan to add this functionality in Entity Developer, however.
As for the DateTimeOffset property type, what kind of support do you mean?

Can I create a DateTimeOffset property on my POCO and have it save to a SQLite DB table with that DB field also being a DateTimeOffset property?

We will test the DateTimeOffset behaviour as soon as the Update To Database functionality is implemented.

We have investigated the possibility of implementing the DateTimeOffset support. Unfortunately, there is no way to support DateTimeOffset completely. We recommend to store dates in the UTC format.
