Using dbtype.structure with SubSonic 2? - stored-procedures

When sending data to a stored procedure through SubSonic, how can I pass a dbtype.structure?
I have a TVP defined as READONLY, and when SubSonic generates the StoredProcedures.cs file, the parameter shows up as a string type.
What is the way to accomplish this?
Thank you.

So I basically rolled my own: SubSonic 2.x StoredProcedure parameter data types?

Stored Procedures and Entity Framework 5

I'm using Entity Framework 5, and I reverse engineer code first the database I'm using, and then I added an ADO.NET Entity Data Model so that I can use Stored Procedures as reverse engineer code first didn't provide the use of sprocs. Is this the only way to access sprocs?
Also, I realize that after the reverse engineer code first process is done a bunch of classes (tables from the database) are created but as soon as I add the ADO.NET Entity Data Model, most of the classes go away. Does anybody know why?

There is a pattern that you can follow to create or support store procedures with the code first approach. here is a link that you can use to follow this:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/179481/Code-First-Stored-Procedures
In few words you need to do the same that you do with model first, create a class that supports the inputs and a class that supports the result set.
And about the Data Entity Model and missing classes. You need to consider that you only can have one approach in a project: code first/(model first/database first), so this could be the reason why you are not seeing those clases.
You can use Context.Database.SqlQuery to run SP.

Is there a CLR data type to Sql data type translation method?

I was going through the MVC material over at asp.net, and came across the 5 minute introduction video:
http://www.asp.net/mvc/videos/5-minute-introduction-to-aspnet-mvc
In this video, there was demonstration of creating a model, then having MVC generate a Sql table based on the object/model automatically.
My question is, what mechinism is used to translate the object's CLR datatypes to Sql Server datatypes?
I'd like to create a quick and dirty method to have similar functionality outside of MVC... something as simple as a method returning a Create Table string.
Like this maybe?
MSDN - Mapping CLR Parameter Data
Or this?
MSDN - SQL-CLR Type Mapping (LINQ to SQL)

Entity Framework, Oracle, DevArt, Context#ExecuteStoreQuery: System.Int32 constructed as System.Double?

I have an Entity-class having a Property of type Int32: on generating DDL using DevArt for ORACLE a NUMBER(10) column is generated. Reading and writing instances works flawlessly.
However, on fetching instances of this Entity-class sending a custom query to ExecuteStoreQuery on the ObjectContext this Property seems to be returned as System.Double, as such constructing the instances fails.
Can I hint DevArt to construct System.Int32?
Thank you.
Bart
The reason is the fact that OracleDataReader, which is used in the ExecuteStoreQuery method, has type mapping different from the one used in the Entity Framework provider.
I recommend you to use NumberMappings, I suppose you will need to map Number(10) to Int32: Number Mappings=((NUMBER,10,10,System.Int32). These changes should be persisted to the model connection string (they are duplicating the default EF mapping rules, it is necessary for the OracleDataReader from ExecuteStoreQuery).
Please let us know if the problem persists.

SubSonic 2.x StoredProcedure parameter data types?

From what I can see, SubSonic 2.x stored procedure parameter data types can only be of type System.Data.DbType.
Is there a quick way to add System.Data.SqlDbType so we can use System.Data.SqlDbType.Structured to pass tables - ultimately to TVP's?
In this particular project, all data caller functions are accessed through StoredProcedures.cs. If we switched to 3.x, does it support SqlDbType.Structured, and if so, is it a seamless integration to retain the current StoredProcedures.cs methods?
You should take a look here. Some guy with the same username and an identical avatar image just implemented that ;)
So, I created my own solution for this - SubSonic 2.x now supports TVP's - SqlDbType.Structure / DataTables for SQL Server 2008
I'm somewhat surprised at the lack of response to TVP's, and seemingly low traction TVP's have in online communities.

MVC using Linq to Entity w/ sql encryption

Currently i am using sql encryption and would like to continue using it through Linq. I have all my CRUD stored proc's wired up to the table in order to handle the encryption/decryption on the backend. Problem is my database model see's a field type of varbinary(max) which is used for the sql encryption storage. The retrieval sp for this table does the decryption thus returning a string value. How does one get around this. Seems like the model needs to recognize a string in place of the varbinary but i am unsure of how to handle this.
Thanks in advance.
So change the table mapping to a view mapping in the database model?
Off the top of my head, some choices:
Edit the ssdl manually.
Make a view and map that (you don't need to actually use it for anything but mapping).
