I was hoping that these two productions would be compatible, but it doesn't look like its going to be the case.

It would have been nice to have LLBLGen handle the DAL layer, and IdeaBlade to handle the the business layer, but does not look as this is possible because of the the way it handles the .edmx file.

Is there a work around for this or a article out there how this could be made possible?

Thanks

I don't know what IdeaBlade does to the edmx file, do they add attribute definitions to the edmx data? (as there's little room for other customization)

We emit an edmx which is compatible with entity framework's engine, without any custom attribute definition for other frameworks. So by default this isn't supported. Are you a customer of IdeaBlade? If so, could you ask them what they need in the edmx file? They can also contact us to make this more seamless, if they want to.

Thanks Otis for the response. We are busy evaluating the two products at the moment and trying to get it to work in tandem. I will respond with at answer soon.
