For me, the main enhancement ia about Any() query generation, specially inside Where(x=> x.Related.Any()) where it generates 4 sub queries instead of one

Hi Felipe, I think that you are referring to the improvement to the translation of Any() resulting from this contribution: entityframework.codeplex.com/.../6199. Could you please confirm that this is working for you better in the beta? It is hard to tell from your comment whether you are describing the previous behavior or the new one.

Hi all, Since the EF is the core of my solutions, before trying the new patch I would like to know if the "Designer: Error opening EF5 edmx with decimal precision in EF6 designer" fix addresses also the bug re-introduced on the Designer when editing the EF 4.0 version of edmx models or is it only about EF5 models? Thank you Alberto

@Alberto - Are you asking if the same issue is fixed for models created with EF4? If so, the answer is yes. If you are asking if a different bug has been fixed, could you provide details on the issue you are seeing so we can check.

Thank you very much Rowan! You understood perfectly: I was asking if the same bug was fixed for the EF4.0 models too. Going to try the update immediately Thank you again Alberto

I don't know if an old bug where property changed event handlers were not being raised for navigation properties when INotifyPropertyChanged was implemented in the data models. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, or if this "bug" is still there: connect.microsoft.com/.../entity-framework-navigation-properties-don-t-raise-the-propertychanged-event Back then the EF team had written: "Thank you for this feedback. Unfortunately the product team cannot fix this issue in time for the upcoming Visual Studio 2010 release, but this has been prioritized highly for the next release of the Entity Framework in .NET. Thanks, Jeff Entity Framework Team"

Ignore my last post... I was using SelectedValueBinding instead of SelectedItemBinding (DataGridComboBoxColumn). Now property change notifications are being raised properly for the navigation property.

The issue "Designer: Error opening EF5 edmx with decimal precision in EF6 designer" still remains after I installed the update. Has anyone else experienced the same problem?

To clarify on my previous post, I may not be using EF5, since I don't have .tt files in my project. I do know that the "specified cast is not valid" issue started appearing after updating VS2013 to Update 2. The header of my edmx files starts like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <edmx:Edmx Version="3.0" xmlns:edmx="schemas.microsoft.com/.../edmx">  <edmx:Runtime>  <edmx:StorageModels> <Schema .... ... </edmx:Edmx>

@Victor De Cerqueira - You mentioned Update 2, this fix isn't included in Update 2. You'll need to download the separate installer (details are in the post). The EF6.1.1 tooling will be included in the next update for VS.

Rowan, I did install the update (beta version of EF 6.1.1), but the problem still persists. I was simply giving you a background of my scenario prior to first encountering the issue. Thanks!

@Victor De Cerqueira - Thank you for clarifying. Would you be able to open an issue on our CodePlex site and include an example of the model that is still encountering the issue with the EF6.1.1 tools installed? entityframework.codeplex.com/.../Create

Rowan, I just created a ticket in CodePlex and included a sample model. Thanks for providing the link and good luck working this issue out! Victor

Will we get the PDBs/Source this time via Symbol/Source Server for 6.1.1 RTM?

@Andre.Ziegler - We we're still blocked by an issue with Symbol Source. I've just moved the work item back onto our triage list to see if we are unblocked now.
