Vibrant discussion about CSLA .NET and using the framework to build great business applications.
I've been reading up on the connection management. I may be missing something, but I am wondering if CSLA performs connection management with EF with Code First. I have used ObjectContextManager with the EDMX style EF, but I don't believe it is compatible.
(We're developing new, so we are using the latest EF (4.3) and CSLA (4.3.12) framework.)
Hi,
The DbContextManager is checked in for Csla 4.5. You may add this to your own assembly.

Can I include the DbContextManager only and easily or should I consider using Csla 4.5. I'm hesitant on using 4.5 as it is not a stable release.
You can include the DbContextManager only (and maybe add some recources if new entries was added).
You must also add reference to EF 4.1 (or newer - where DbContext was intrduced).
I've added only the DbContextManager and it appears to be compiling fine. There doesn't appear to be any .Net 4.5 or Csla 4.5 calls in it. I will update if there are any problems.
That is correct - the code is plain C# 4.0 and only requires reference to EntityFramework assembly.
