VS2019 Failure

Question

VS2019 Failure

radsolution opened this issue 2 years ago · comments

I have just installed everything as instructed (VS2019), and have the same problem that others have reported.
There is no provider listed other than: .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server
Furthermore, Erik's screenshot on this page:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ErikEJ.SQLServerCompactSQLiteToolbox
Shows a right-click entry to Add Entity Data Model (EDMX) to project...
I don't have that option in v4.8.735 of the Toolbox. This is preventing me from using SQLite.

I'm thinking of looking for another database which DOES work..

Failure seems like a strong word...

as instructed (VS2019)

I assume according to this? - these have worked for may, but I know it can be hard to follow, and appreciate any suggestions for improvement.

Oh yes, the screen shots relate to the feature for SQL Server Compact - and that particular feature has been removed - I will get the screenshots updated.

Erik. I think I have followed your detailed walk-through properly... I will create a new Solution and start from scratch just in case I messed it up... Thank you for replying. Regards, Dave

There is also machine.config involved and registering DLLs in GAC. It is vitally important that all parts use the exact same version...

Erik, I created a new solution, followed all the steps in your guide, and it works 😊 There is one small issue - columns marked as AUTOINCREMENT don’t get set as IDENTITY when right-clicking the column in the database diagram. Regards Dave

Wonderful!

Could you share a screenshot of that diagram issue?

Hello Erik. I changed my database schema, so dropped the EDMX and re-created it. This time the IDENTITY columns came across OK. They are working, because I inserted some rows, and the ID column was set correctly... Bizarre - but you can never trust MS frameworks 😄😄 Regards, Dave
