Devart Forums

Hello,

more stuff for the linq provider:

I've built an external mapping file for some classes. It works nice with standard DataContext but using it with a Devart DataContext throws an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" at System.Data.Linq.Mapping.MappedMetaModel.InitStaticTableTypes.

I've built this test like in my previous post

best regards,

Laurent

bug or misused?

External mapping will be implemented in the next build. Probably, you are using Microsoft's mappingSource - this will not work. We will implement our own class Devart.Data.Linq.Mapping.XmlMappingSource.

I imagine that you can also make a tool that can convert the .lqml file from the Entity Developer to an XML file for use with this Mapping source, right?

We plan to generate an additional XML with model and also to support the .lqml file as XML Source.
