Does anyone know something about the EntityFramework.MappingAPI development progress?

The last update has been in March 2014 and the developer last visited the site in 2015.

Thanks in advance.

I would recommend you not to use this tool for many reasons. If you need to retrieve the database/schema information, then just use MetadataWorkspace.

  • Do you maybe have some examples in mind, what could cause problems? Thanks – Dom84 Aug 01 '16 at 08:28

    For a just simple reason it was tested with EF 4.1. between 4.1 and 6.1 a lot of features are interdouced and changed. if you have a newer version than 4.1 then you should thinking before use it. – Bassam Alugili Aug 01 '16 at 08:36

If anyone comming accross from somewhere looking for the same thing, i found this project, which is a fork of the MappingApi and is still under maintaince. The developer also responded on a question of mine, so i think that this could be an alternativ to the MappingApi, if your not using EF5 or older anymore
