Multiversion addin and EntityFramework

tamas.deri · ‎12-04-2024

What is your strategy regarding multiple revit addin versions (especially net48 and net8.0) and EntityFramework? Do You use EF 6 everywhere? Is there anyone using Entity Core 3, which in theory supports both frameworks? Or do you have duplicate dbcontexts and entities and preprocessor directives to get the latest available ORMs everywhere?

Hi @tamas.deri ：

you can change .csproj file , this is my one project config is a older version but you can change it by youself . and the base is create mutiRevit debug/relase version in debug management and when modify this the framework will change.

Thanks, but I have no problems handling different Revit versions, I was asking about what is the best practice regarding Entity Framework, which setup fits best.
