Hi Arjen, Currently one can only add a reference to asp.net5 that is rebuilt with asp.net5 library. In the case of EF6 with full .net library and not the core. The problem seems to be the build versioning of the npgsql library for the full .net library. It is emitting one thing but expecting another. At least this is one of the problems. -----Original Message----- From: Arjen Nienhuis [mailto:a.g.nienhuis@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 06 February 2016 16:53 To: FarjadFarid(ChkNet) Cc: pgsql-general Subject: Re: Asp.net 5 and EF6 On Thu, Feb 4, 2016 at 5:46 PM, FarjadFarid(ChkNet) <farjad.farid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Hi I am trying to use certain features of Asp.net 5 using postgresql > using EF6. > I think you can use EF6, but not with .NET Core.
