[Mono-list] Entity Framework 6.0

[Daniel Lo Nigro]

Hi Adwen,

Everything works fine (i can login fine on the website) but the moment i
> touch anything with Entity framework I get an Error.

What errors are you getting? Make sure your application does not reference
System.Data.Entity, only EntityFramework. As far as I know,
System.Data.Entity contains some older Entity Framework stuff that isn't
compatible with Mono.

You should be able to use Visual Studio 2010 for your development. Having
said that, I was having lots of problems getting EntityFramework working on
Mono, and eventually gave up and switched to ServiceStack
OrmLite<https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack.OrmLite>which
works "out of the box" on Mono. EF6 is still an alpha version
targeting
a final release date of
mid-2013<http://visualstudiomagazine.com/blogs/data-driver/2012/11/entity-framework-6-alpha-1-announced.aspx>
so
I'm not sure if it's ready to be used in production scenarios yet.
