Entity Framework DLL used in LabVIEW

[PhillipAC]

We currently have a library to interface with our database written in .netframework using Entity Framework. Is it possible to use this library in LabVIEW to access the database? If so are there some types of configurations we have to do to get it all to work together? Thank you.

Well the Entity Framework seems to be simply YADA (Yet Another Database API) that tries to unify different databases behind one single API. And as it is using .Net you will probably need to use the LabVIEW .Net functionality to access it. It would seem doable to create a LabVIEW VI library that accesses this API through the use of the .Net property and method nodes, but this library doesn't yet exist and the Entity Framework also doesn't plug into the DAO/ADO interface that the LabVIEW Database Toolkit is accessing, so no joy there.
