I cannot get the EDM Wizard to work with PostgreSql custom types.

I have a few custom types defined in my schema. For example, d_enabled is basically a boolean.

When I run the wizard on this schema, I get an error for each column with a non-standard type.

I also get a couple different errors that I can't make heads or tails of.

Here is the output of the error dialog:



---------------------------

Value cannot be null.

Parameter name: storeEntityContainer

Also, are you supposed to be able to get to this wizard from Visual Studio? If so, then I do not have that option, and I'd guess it's because of an error I got during setup that said it could not find devenv.exe using the registry.

I have Vista x64, and I imagine setup is not looking in the WOW6432 node or the wrong Program Files directory or something.

PostgreSQLDirect .NET EDM wizard is a standalone application.
Please send me (alexeyman*crlab*com) your table definitions.
We will investigate this issue.

I'm afraid I can't send our database schema, as my employer wouldn't be too happy.

So you're saying that you don't have any problems with custom types?

Sometimes we do have bugs. It's natural.
That's why I'm asking you for a peace of code to reproduce the error.
Probably you will manage to allocate the problem place.
Say, if you send a small table definition, where the error constantly reproduces.
I suggest, your employer won't be against it, as you are not showing program logic or anything.
And we'll be far more happy to fix the bug.
Moreover, you will continue working without searching for tricks to overcome the bug.
