How to setup Entity Framework / SQL Server with Mono

Question

I\'m trying to setup a very simple test project to evaluate Mono Entity Framework capabilities. When trying to access data, I get a runtime exception about parsing the model

Answer 1

Dresel, misleading as my reputation may be on this site, I can safely say that using the EntityFramework with mono is not the recommended approach at this time. Although it is technically "supported", the majority of the library is non functional at best. After spending about a month digging as far as I could go, I was unable to peg the possibility of making a fully functioning site above %20. I instead used NHibernate and have been thrilled with the results. And recommend doing the same until the base has solidified further for the EF Mono project. Nhibernate Example (using MySQL, MSSQL supported)

I hope this helps at least a little bit as it's only my sincere thought. Good luck on whatever you choose to do, I know this MS Opensource move can get very "roadblocky"
