Using Entity Framework 6 with EntityKey

I am trying to upgrade a big data project from EF 5 to EF 6. But when I run the code generation in EF6 tool the references to the related tables are no longer there.

So the following line of code no longer works.

 dbTradeAllocation.ChargeTypeReference.EntityKey = new EntityKey("ICEEntities.SystemData", "ID", TradeAllocation.ChargeType);

Does anyone know if EntityKeys are still supported in EF6 ?

Thanks Paul

EntityKey is supported in EF6. However you cannot run EF5 code generation in EF6 - it won't work since there were changes in namespaces. I touched a little bit on this in my blog post about changes to EF Tooling in VS2013 - you can find the blog post here. If you want to use EntityObject/ObjectContext entities in EF6 you need to use EntityObject generator for EF6 which you can get from VS Gallery (note it requires .NET Framework 4.5 on the dev box).
