The non-Vista connection string looks like this for meta-data

metadata=res://*/Forms.Forms.ssdl

In VistaDB, I have a file named Forms.Forms.ssdl in the folder with the .vdb5 file.

When trying to execute a query, I get the following exception:

The entity type def_AttachType is not part of the model for the current context.

I am using version

5.1.1.1418 of VistaDB.5.NET40.dll and VistaDB.5.Web.NET40.dll

5.1.0.1385 of VistaDB.5.Entity.6.NET40.dll

Are there any gotchas about namespaces or not having the EDMX in the root of the project?

Thanks!

I'm not sure what exactly fixed it but I got working with the following:

Put all three EDMX meta data files in the directory with the VistaDB database
metadata=|DataDirectory|\Forms.Forms.csdl|||DataDirectory|\Forms.Forms.ssdl|||DataDirectory|\Forms.Forms.msl

Updated versions of assemblies/packages to

5.5.3.0 of VistaDB.5.NET40.dll and VistaDB.5.Web.NET40.dll

5.2.2.1587 of VistaDB.5.Entity.6.NET40.dll
