v5.5.0 / EntityFrameworkCore 3.1.0 / AspNetCore 1.2.0

OpenRiaServices.EntityFrameworkCore 3.1.0

• Initial support for Owned Entities for one-to-one navigation properties (#500)
  • Owned entities without explicit keys are mapped to OpenRiaServices's [Complex Types]
  • Owned entities with explicit keys are generated as normal "Entities" but are automatically annotated with [Composition]
  • EFCore "Complex Types" introduced in EFCore 8.0 does not have any special handling
• Add new helper method AttachAsModified<TEntity>(TEntity entity) (#506)
  • It works similar to the existing AttachAsModified extension methods on DbSet but
    • is smarter (works with and without original entity)
    • reduces code that needs to be written and works both with and without "OriginalEntity" (RoundTripAttribute)
• Add package README to OpenRiaServices.Server.EntityFrameworkCore

AspNetCore 1.2.0

• Add support for specifying endpoints routes (#508, issue: #507)
  You can choose between 3 different approaches to how the endpoint routes are generated.
  See AspNetCore readme for more details.
  • WCF will generate the same routes as WCF RIA Services Some-Namespace-TypeName.svc/binary/Method
  • FullName will generate routes with the full name of the DomainService Some-Namespace-TypeName/Method
  • Name will generate routes with the short name of the DomainService TypeName/Method

Code generation

• Log whole Exceptions in DomainServiceCatalog instead of just message (#502), for better error messages on code generation failure
• Call "dotnet CodeGenTask.dll" instead of "CodeGenTask.exe" #503
• Support for the 3 different approaches to how the endpoint routes are generated for AspNetCore hosting (#508)
• Replace obsolete AssociationAttribute with new EntityAssociationAttribute on client (#509)

Client

• Replace obsolete AssociationAttribute with new EntityAssociationAttribute on client (#509)
  • The client currently detect AssociationAttribute but it will be removed in future versions.
  • Ensure you have the corresponding version of the Code generation
• BinaryHttpDomainClientFactory has a new constructor taking in an Func<Uri, HttpClient> so that the callback has access to the uri passed to the DomainContext
  • If the HttpClient factory method sets BaseAddress on the httpClient then the address vill be preserved and used for server calls.

EntityFrameworkCore 3.0.0

OpenRiaServices.Server.EntityFrameworkCore 3.0.0

Add EF Core 8 support by @ehsangfl @Daniel-Svensson in #496

• Target .NET 8.0 and EF Core 8
  • IMPORTANT EF Core 8 is NOT backwards compatible with models (DbContexct) classes compiled against earlier versions of EF Core.
    Methods such as HasName in OnConfigure will throw MethodNotFoundException
    This means that to use EF Core 8 all referenced EF Core projects needs to be updated to 8.0
• Drops support for earlier TargetFrameworks
  • Due to limitations above with binary breaking changes in EF Core earlier frameworks will not be supported to reduce risk of mixing EF Core versions.
  • Use the 2.0.* version of the nuget package if you need support for earlier versions of EF Core

Other internal changes

• Remove a bunch of "#if NET6_0" so it works on multiple versions of .NET
• update nuget packages
  • MSTest to 3.3.1
  • Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.* 4.9.2
  • Microsoft.Build.Locator 1.7.8
  • remove Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design
  • Update to "Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" 17.9.0

V5.4.3

Client

• Significant performance improvements when working with many entities in various scenarios

Server

• Reduced allocatgions when parsing queries on server (both WCF and AspNetCore hosting) in #485 * Update nuget dependencies and add new dependencies to OpenRiaServices.Hosting.Wcf * System.Collections.Immutable and System.Memory are new dependencies of Wcf hosting * .NET Framework builds now includes the smaller portable pdb's instead of of the old "full" windows style pdb's * NOTE: For .NET Framework apps ensure that supportedRuntime in app.config and corresponding setting in web.config does not specify an older runtime if you wan't line numbers in stack traces.

What's Changed

• Add net8 build of OpenRiaServices.Hosting.AspNetCore by @Daniel-Svensson in #479

Full Changelog: v5.4.0...v5.4.1

5.4.0

5.4.0

This release fully supports .NET 6+ for both server and client without having to rely on workarounds to have the code generation work.

Code Generation Supports NET6+

• Support net6+ on server (#414)
  • Add version of code generation which allows server project to be .NET 6 or later
  • Works with dotnet build - you can build without installing Visual Studio

Client

• Ensure exceptions from xxxOperation callbacks and unhandled exceptions are rethrow on the SyncronizationContext. (#424)
  • This allows events such as DispatcherUnhandledException (for WPF) to be used for showing error messages immediately
• Add net6.0-windows TargetFramework for client (#436)
  • EntitySet and EntityCollection now implements ICollectionViewFactory for net6.0-windows. improving supprot with controls using CollectionView
  • This change came in WCF Ria Services SP1 WCF Ria Services SP1

    DataForm Add/Remove for EntitySet and EntityCollection
    With our initial V1.0 release, many of you found that a DataForm bound to an EntitySet or an EntityCollection did not support the Add or Remove buttons. This was a difficult cut to make in V1.0, so I’m pleased to announce that with V1.0 SP1, this is now supported. Silverlight 4 introduced the ICollectionViewFactory interface, with support integrated into DataGrid and DataForm, and both EntitySet and EntityCollection now implement that interface to allow the Add/Remove features to light up.

• The WCF based WebDomainClientFactory will not receive any new changes and is now marked as obsolete. It is recommeded to switch to OpenRiaServices.Client.DomainClients.BinaryHttpDomainClientFactory instead.

Other

• Run E2E tests against AspNetCore hosting
• Various smaller performance fixes and code cleanup (#438), #435
