We have explored the idea of creating an official IRIS driver for EF Core, but are not currently working on one. I think David (below) has a good idea for folks who are interested in making this happen.

I am also interested in this issue. I wonder that EF Core is an Open Source project https://github.com/dotnet/efcore and there several Database providers https://docs.microsoft.com/es-es/ef/core/providers/?tabs=dotnet-core-cli also in GitHub. Maybe the IRIS provider for EF could be a good Open Source initiative for this community.

Unfortunately, there is no IRIS client for Entity Framework on .NET Core available. Could your application use ADO.NET or ODBC or IRISClient directly?

Hey Robert ,

Thanks for the quick reply.

In near future do you have any plan to create a core provider for IRIS anytime? we already have an application built on EF and would like to try it with IRIS Health

Any update regarding this? It's been three years.

Entity Framework, as whole .NET Framework is dead, so the only option is NET Core/Entity Framework Core.
