问题 Some RDBMSs (including SQL Server) support XML columns. I'd prefer not mapping such a column to the string data type. Does Entity Framework 6.1 support XML natively in any way? More specifically, can I map an xml column to one of the XML data types of .NET (such as XElement or XmlElement )? Does Entity Framework support XQuery that is integrated into normal LINQ queries and is translated to SQL queries? 回答1: No, only mapping it to string and then having to stream it back in to an XML document
