Getting Astoria to work with ADO.NET Entity Framework Beta 2

Hmm, still trying to test Astoria out, this time in combination with ADO.NET Entity Framework Beta 2. Still not succesful however. I noticed the following things.

When I try to add a "Web Data Service", I got stuck in a Visual Studio error. Error: this template attempted to load an untrusted component 'msastoriavs, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35'. For more information on this problem and how to enable this template, please see documentation on Customizing Project Templates.
Besides this I compared the Entity Model I created, they greatly differ between Beta 1 and Beta 2.
- The extension is changed from .csdl to .edmx.
- The schema-prefix changed from edm: to edmx:

My conclusion so far. The projectteam for Astoria has to do some work to make Astoria work with Beta 2 of ADO.NET Entity Framework.

Any luck with this? I'm having the same problem.

Solved it, just uninstall EFT, EF, and Astoria. Then reinstall in this order EF, EFT, and Astoria.

Hope it works for you.

Thanks Chris,

But besides this. I just found out that Astoria has changed his name to ADO.NET Data Services. And of course we have ourselves a new CTP. It's part of the ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions( http://asp.net/downloads/3.5-extensions/ )
