VS2019 vs VS2017 and EF 6.0 - big mess
Oct 31, 2019 04:00 PM|wavemaster|LINK
2X Community Edition for visual studio
My application builds fine in VS2017, no errors.
Close the solution and now open it in VS2019. Add two non primary key column in one table.
After "Update model from database", Save and Build: I have 400 errors all related to dbContext and missing customizations on a few tables.
Close the solution and reopen in VS2017, then I do not see any error messages.
How is this possible?

Keep in mind that this solution works in VS2017, not in VS2019
NPM has EntityFramework by Microsoft listed in the installed category with version 6.1.3, there is an update to version 6.3.0 available.

In Model.Context.cs I have this:
using System; using System.Data.Entity; using System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure; using System.Data.Entity.Core.Objects; using System.Linq; public partial class BTEntities11 : DbContext { public BTEntities11() : base("name=BTEntities11") { } protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder) { throw new UnintentionalCodeFirstException(); } public virtual DbSet<Appointment> Appointments { get; set; } public virtual DbSet<Associate> Associates { get; set; } ... plus 100 more of these to cover all the tables in the dbIn Model.edmx:
EntityContainer Name="BTEntities11" annotation:LazyLoadingEnabled="true"> <EntitySet Name="Appointments" EntityType="Self.Appointment" /> <EntitySet Name="Associates" EntityType="Self.Associate" /> ... all the other tables are here as wellIn web.config:
There are no squiggles when this solution is open in VS2019 CE, AFTER I have built and saved the project.
Nuget Package Manager says EF 6.1.3 is installed.
Is there another way to verify it is installed?
EDIT:
Now VS2019 shows a different message:

it finds 2 each:
one in the IDE folder
one in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Entity Framework Tools\Runtimes\5.0.0
Then the question becomes why does "update model from database look at: $(VSAPPIDDIR)EntityFramework.dll
What does that mean $(VSAPPIDDIR)?

Hi wavemaster,
Open the References in your project. To see if there is EntitFramework, if it is, you have already installed it.
The $(VSAPPDIR) is a variable when the project is run.
There are similar questions here, you can use as a reference.

There is an issue with EF on the non preview versions of VS2019.
Someone at Microsoft suggested that I use the preview version which I did. Now EF can again create Model.edmx without any issues.
