EntityViewContainer not being used

Question

I have generated a class derived from EntityViewContainer using the T4 template from here:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/adonet/archive/2008/06/20/how-to-use-a-t4-template-for-view-generation.aspx

( I have also tried generating it using EdmGen with the same result. )

 

I have put a breakpoint on the GetViewAt() method and it is not hit. Also the time taken by the first query has not changed. This leads me to suspect that EF is not using my compiled view.

Any ideas why this might happen?

 

EF 4.0

ASP.NET 4.0

Model.edmx is in a DAL assembly, which also includes the Generated View class

Self-tracking objects are in a different STO assembly

 

Thanks,

Nick

 

Answer 1

Fixed it!

 

The Generated View derived from EntityViewContainer must be in the assembly that contains the STOs Self-Tracking Objects.
