Issues using Entity Designer

Post by flycast » Mon 04 Feb 2019 20:16

Been trying to get EF 6.2 and SQLite working for a few days now. I tried dotConnect but still had issues. A sales person suggested that I try Entity Design (which looks very nice). I started with an exiswting SQLite database and then did some mods. The database validated fine. I generated code and am trying to insert a record in the table "Tools".

Code: Select all

           using(var context = new MainEntities())
            {
                var stud = new Tool() { ToolNumber = "FF65432" };

                context.AddToTools(stud);
                context.SaveChanges();
            }
I get the following error on this line:

Code: Select all

base(@"metadata=DataModel1.csdl|DataModel1.ssdl|DataModel1.msl;provider=Devart.Data.SQLite;provider connection string=""Data Source=C:\Users\erics\source\repos\FLIR\FLIR\FirstPartDatabase.db""", "MainEntities")
System.InvalidOperationException: 'The Entity Framework provider type 'Devart.Data.SQLite.Entity.SQLiteEntityProviderServices, Devart.Data.SQLite.Entity.EF6, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=09af7300eec23701' registered in the application config file for the ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'Devart.Data.SQLite' could not be loaded. Make sure that the assembly-qualified name is used and that the assembly is available to the running application. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more information.'
It is completely possible that my app.config file is screwed up. I also have not found a process in the help files for making sure the right references are loaded (or NuGet packages).

What is wrong here?
App.config

Why did you remove the versions from ADO.NET and EF6 provider registrations generated by Entity Developer?

Please use

Code: Select all

...
  <entityFramework>
    <defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.LocalDbConnectionFactory, EntityFramework">
      <parameters>
        <parameter value="mssqllocaldb" />
      </parameters>
    </defaultConnectionFactory>
    <providers>
      <provider invariantName="Devart.Data.SQLite" type="Devart.Data.SQLite.Entity.SQLiteEntityProviderServices, Devart.Data.SQLite.Entity.EF6, Version=5.11.1307.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=09af7300eec23701" />
      <provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" />
    </providers>
  </entityFramework>
  <system.data>
    <DbProviderFactories>
      <add name="dotConnect for SQLite" invariant="Devart.Data.SQLite" description="Devart dotConnect for SQLite" type="Devart.Data.SQLite.SQLiteProviderFactory, Devart.Data.SQLite, Version=5.11.1307.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=09af7300eec23701" />
    </DbProviderFactories>
  </system.data>
</configuration>
instead of

Code: Select all

...
  <entityFramework>
    <defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.LocalDbConnectionFactory, EntityFramework">
      <parameters>
        <parameter value="mssqllocaldb" />
      </parameters>
    </defaultConnectionFactory>
    <providers>
      <provider invariantName="Devart.Data.SQLite" type="Devart.Data.SQLite.Entity.SQLiteEntityProviderServices, Devart.Data.SQLite.Entity.EF6, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=09af7300eec23701" />
      <provider invariantName="System.Data.SqlClient" type="System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer" />
    </providers>
  </entityFramework>
  <system.data>
    <DbProviderFactories>
      <add name="dotConnect for SQLite" invariant="Devart.Data.SQLite" description="Devart dotConnect for SQLite" type="Devart.Data.SQLite.SQLiteProviderFactory, Devart.Data.SQLite, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=09af7300eec23701" />
    </DbProviderFactories>
  </system.data>
</configuration>
Refer to https://www.devart.com/dotconnect/sqlite/docs/?EF.html.

JIC: after provider upgrade, you can run Tools > SQLite > Upgrade Wizard to update provider versions in References and in App.config
