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

[Atsushi Eno]

Oops, I've sent my draft instead of the finished one. I'm resending it -

Hello,

I'm replying to an old post.

I have revisited Astoria lately, and found that Astoria *does*
depend on Linq to Entities. (i.e. unlike the previous discussion,
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.
Also, there is a documentation that explicitly states that Astoria
uses EDM: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc716655.aspx

This means, implementing Data Services without L2E mostly does
not make sense.
