[Mono-dev] ADO.NET Data Services (project astoria) plans ?

[Atsushi Eno]

Hello,

I have revisited Astoria lately, and found that Astoria *does*
depend on Linq to Entities. The statement that Astoria works over
_any_ linq binding is wrong. It rejects such IQueryable that
does not conform to Linq to Entities manner. For example, change
"ID" column name as "ID_". It rejects such data object saying that
the IQueryable must return entity object.
