With the release of v13.2.6, XAF supports Entity Framework 6 by default. If you are upgrading from an earlier version of EF, please take special notice of the following Microsoft article: Upgrading to EF6.
Due to the recent Entity Framework changes we have also updated and restructured our related documentation to help you get started with Entity Framework in XAF. More is also coming as we could simplify some of our EF-related APIs.
To learn more about these changes, please be sure to visit the Business Model Design with Entity Framework section in our docs.
In addition to service refactorings and usability improvements, v13.2.7 brings additional features requested by our Entity Framework users.
In particular, we now support composite keys and custom calculated fields in the entity data model. These changes enable your end-users to extend the business model at runtime without recompiling the app. Since there is no built-in support for custom fields in Entity Framework (as it is done in XPO) we had to provide our own implementation (check the docs for more details on this).
