Support for EFCore Salesforce with .NET Core

Post by BrianAFG » Wed 03 Apr 2019 20:57

I am attempting to use dotConnect for SalesForce in a .NET Core application (EF Core). I do not see any nuget packages at nuget.org for Devart.Data.Salesforce.*. Is dotConnect for SalesForce supported in .NET Core?

I successfully used EFCore in a .NET Framework application using the DLLs that came with the install (Devart.Data, Devart.Data.Salesforce, and Devart.Data.Salesforce.Entity.EFCore), but using those in .NET Core application resulted in errors.

I found my answer here:

Not supported at the moment, apparently.

The documentation is incorrect in this regard:
https://www.devart.com/dotconnect/sales ... cs/EF.html
In order to use Entity Framework Core for Full .NET Framework, you need Visual Studio 2013 or higher. For .NET Core you need Visual Studio 2017.
However, .NET Core is not supported at all for SalesForce, apparently.

That is true.

Thank you for the correction. We will update the documentation.
