Many thanks.

But I'm really trying to execute a Scalar Returning Function, that for some reason does not get generated in the EF context.




>>I generated EF Entities from a Database. Now I would like run a raw sql against that same database that is not included in the generated entities.
>>I thought I'd use the DbContext .Database.SqlQuery method, but that throws an exception (unitntionalCodeFirsteExcption.
>>
>>"The context is being used in Code First mode with code that was generated from an EDMX file for either Database First or Model First development. "
>>
>>So does that mean one cannot access the database in this way., or is there a approach hidden somewhere that I am still to discover?

>Hmm. I just tried querying a table that was not in the model and, providing you have a C# class that matches the names/types of the returned columns, it seems to work. eg:

        public class Carriers
>        {
>            public string Name { get; set; }
>            public string DepProv { get; set; }
>        }

then this is OK:

var yyy = PGD.Database.SqlQuery<Carriers>("SELECT Name,DepProv FROM dbo.Carriers").ToList();
