Unable to connect using my EF6 Oracle Devart-based Assembly - Assembly version hell

rmagruder

I need to use my dbContext DLL that was built using EF6 and DevArt dotConnect, within LinqPad.

The version of DevArt DotConnect for Oracle I'm using is 8.4.283.0 (and therefore the Devart.Data.Oracle.Entity assembly is version 8.4.283.6 -- for EF6).

I'm wondering if anything in LinqPad is looking at 8.4.201.0, based upon the FusLogVw dump below. I have tried editing machine.config and putting in a redirect as well as editing linqpad.exe.config and putting in a redirect, as follows:













I still get the below message no matter where I copy the 283.6 version of that assembly. I'm missing something. Help?

Agh, fixed it. Apparently I *am* running 8.4.201.x -- I fixed up all the redirects (removed them, mainly) and copied Devart.data.oracle.entity.dll to my linqpad directory and now it works.

Thanks!
