Data Access and ASP.NET 5

[Fredrik]

How does the future plans look for supporting ASP.NET 5 development using Data Access?

[Viktor Zhivkov]

Hi Fredrik,

At the moment we do not have any plans about support for ASP.NET vNext.
Our quick research indicates that at the moment you can start experimenting with Telerik Data Access and ASP.NET vNext considering the following facts:

1. Telerik Data Access supports only full .Net Framework.
2. Telerik Data Access uses web.config for connection strings. You will have to modify the default Data Access Context code to read the connection string from project.json (or any other source).
3. Data Providers are registered in machine.config or web.config. If all of these registrations are not available, then Telerik Data Access may have trouble loading the correct Database Provider that should be used to connect to your database system.

Given that ASP.NET vNext is still in development, I would suggest to keep your work/research just to experiment with the technology rather than using it in production environment.

Hi Telerik team,

is there already a schedule when you will update DataAccess to support these new scenario?

Hi Michael,

Currently, any changes in this direction are not scheduled for implementation.

For a clear visibility of the support for such improvements and their development I am moving this request to our feedback portal. I kindly invite you to cast your vote about it here.
