@Warren Parry – Splitting between assemblies like that is supported. Any chance you could send us a project that reproduces the issue? If so, use the ‘Contact’ link at the top right of the page and we can organize it over email.

I am using this release but still have the "Sequence contains no matching element" issue. My POCO classes have been moved to another assembly and is referenced in the context assembly. Mapping files are also located in the context assembly. Could this be the issue?

@tk - No, you need to target .NET 4.5 to get those improvements. This is a side effect of us still having some of the original parts of EF in the .NET Framework, in future releases we'll be moving those last pieces into the NuGet package too.

Hi,

If I use EF5 targeting .NET4.0, will it get any performance improvement? What about the SQL generation improvements around optimizing queries over models with table-per-type (TPT) inheritance (mentioned in June 2011 CTP)?

@Eamon Nerbonne - The components to support enums were only added on .NET 4.5, you should ensure that the columns are getting added to your database.

One thing that may cause some confusion...

If you install the EF NuGet package into a .NET 4.5 project and then re-target the project to .NET 4, NuGet doesn't automatically swap you to the .NET 4 version of EF, you would need to uninstall and reinstall the package. Because .NET 4.5 is an in place upgrade of .NET 4 (meaning that even if you target .NET 4 it is still running against .NET 4.5) the app will continue to run with the .NET 4.5 version of EF, but it will fail if you try to run it on a machine without .NET 4.5.

Contrary to what the blog post says, enums seem to work just fine even on .NET 4.0.

@Patrick Miron - Unfortunately EF5 will not have support for HierarchyID. You can view and vote on features at http://ef.mswish.net.

@Tom - EF5 can be used against .NET 4 and .NET 4.5. We will not ship .NET with EF5... but most of the new features in EF5 'light up' when you use it to write an application targeting .NET 4.5.

Will .NET4.5 Framework be shipped with EF5?

Can someone answer me, where I can find out if HierarchyID will be suported in EF5 or not? I have found many comments on other blogs but I can not confirm this from anyone. Is there somewhere where I can find out what is planed for the EF?

Thanks,
