Using Entity Framework with InterSystems IRIS Data Platform
Hi There,
I have Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 installed and tried to setup the entity framework as per Using Entity Framework with InterSystems IRIS Data Platform (https://learning.intersystems.com/course/view.php?id=1046) tutorial but I can't see the ISC data source in MS Visual Studio's Data source section. Does this mean that MS VS Community 2019 is not supported with the Entity Frmawork?

Hello @Mohamed Hassan Anver,
I think that the tutorial is for EF 6 that is designed for .NET Framework. And MS is not promoting more EF Framework, right now, MS has EF core as goal (check this: https://docs.microsoft.com/es-es/ef/efcore-and-ef6/ ) and is the right EF to go in my opinion.
However IRIS is not supporting EF Core https://community.intersystems.com/post/how-can-i-use-iris-net-core-entity-framework. :-(
Any thought @Bob Kuszewski ?
Thank you @David Reche for the reply. I wish IRIS would release support for EF Core in the near future. For now we will develop our app based on IRIS and EF.
