How to Generate an Entity Model for MSSQL 2005 ?

The Entity Developer seems to be developing Entity Models based on MSSQL 2008.
(We are getting references to datetime2, which is a function added to MSSQL 2008)
I've looked through the designer, but cannot see anything to select the target SQL Server. (ie. MSSQL 2005)

Entity Developer for dotConnects does not support SQL Server models.
You can download a trial version of Entity Developer for SQL Server here:

I am already using the trial, which is why I am reporting the faults I have found.
Looking at the .edml file I have generated, the ProviderManifestToken is set to 2008. Changing it to 2005 makes it work nicely with SQL Server 2005.
I would say, that you need some way of setting that value in the Entity Developer, rather than having to manually edit it.
(Sorry if I sound like a moaner, but I really like this product and need to get Management to like it as well)

Thank you for the report, we appreciate your feedback.
Feel free to contact us.
We will implement the proper ProviderManifestToken changing in one of the nearest builds. I will post here as soon as it is avaiable.

We have implemented this behaviour in the upcoming Beta build of Enity Developer.

The problem is fixed in the latest Beta build of Entity Developer.
