Entity Framework 7 Beta 8 doesn't come with the Find Method. It will probably be added before the final release.

You will have to use the the FirstOrDefault method instead until that happens

{
    return this.Entities.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id == id);
}

Because Id property will not be recognized you'll have to add an interface and make your repository implement it.

public interface IEntity
{
     int Id { get; set; }
}

e.g.

 public class GenericRepository : IGenericRepository where T: class, IEntity

From the github issues list. EF7 does not perform automatic data validation so DbEntityValidationException does not exist in EF7.

Take note: EF7 is not a update of EF but a rewrite.
