I would like to use ElevateDB in a web app that needs to use Entity Framework 6.0.  So, I need to use Visual Studio 2012 or 2013.  It looks like ElevateDB is only supported up to VS 2010.  Are there any plans to support Entity Framework 6 in the very near future?  (or does EDB actually already work with it by any chance?)

thanks!

Thanks, Raul.  I did see that post and followed the tip.  It allowed me to add the database connection within VS 2013, but I couldn't do much with it beyond that without getting exceptions.  I'm not positive that I wasn't doing other stuff wrong, but I'm guessing that it just does not work with Entity Framework 6.

Rick,

I would suggest you email support direct for quicker reply. However i
doubt they have tested Entity Framework specifically.

AFAIK the EDB .Net provider should act as any other .Net data provider -
the main differences being connection strings and SQL syntax which might
differ slightly from say T-SQL.

Are you able to access existing data in VS (i.e. without Entity
Framework) ? And what type of exceptions are you getting ? (i.e. error
messages that are edb specific we might be able to try to help with).
