Configure EntityDataSource with EF 4.1 and ADO.NET DbContext Generator

[Jonathan]

I'm using the latest drop of Entity Framework 4.1 (RC).
I have added ADO.NET DbContext Generator.

When I try to configure an EntityDataSource with the "Configure Entity Data Source" wizard I can choose an existing data connection but I'm getting a blank panel on the "Choose an object context" step.

I have a reference to the EntityFramework  assembly(4.1) and System.Data.Entity and my assembly containing my EF DbContext. But I see nothing.

I am using EF 4.1 with the ADO.NET DbContext Generator code generation template. This generates an entity that derives fro m DbContext rather than ObjectContext.

Does this wizard (or EntityDataSource) work with EF 4.1 and ADO.NET DbContext Generator?

Hi Jonathan,

Currently only ObjectContext is supported. However support for DbContext is in our TO DO list and we will further research and add this functionality in a subsequent version of Telerik Reporting. In the meantime you should use the ObjectDataSource component to wire them up - more information is available in the How to: Bind to a BusinessObject help article.

Greetings,
Peter

It would certainly be nice to either support DbContext or to support ObjectContext.ObjectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntries so we can get in memory data including inserts but not deletes...

DbContext is supported now, which is very good news since using ObjectContext generator is not always an option and that eliminates the need for workarounds.
