Your Voice is Important

  • Article

Back around October 2009, we introduced  the process of interacting on a regular basis with the developers and users in the form of surveys.  Today, we are happy to introduce the ability to suggest and vote on feature scenarios for ODBC, SqlClient, DataSet and other technologies like JDBC and PHP through UserVoice.  Our UserVoice site https://mssqlconn.uservoice.com enables you to vote for your most important feature and even if you do not see it, you can enter your own.  This provide us with the ability to validate some of the requests we have got from developers, users and partners such as you as well as ideas that we have gathered internally as a part of our development process. 

We view you as a key stakeholder in the process that we have to identify areas for future investments.  The feedback you provide is valuable and each response will be read and will be treated with utmost confidence.

It's also important to note that other UserVoice sites (https://data.uservoice.com/forums/72025-ado-net-entity-framework-ef-feature-suggestions and https://data.uservoice.com/forums/72027-wcf-data-services-feature-suggestions) are alive and the teams are actively working on implementing the top suggestions.

Regards,

Microsoft SQL Server and ADO.NET teams

    We did this before (data.uservoice.com/.../72025-ado-net-entity-framework-ef-feature-suggestions) and much of the top items haven't been addressed or even mentioned. Fringe cases like spatial types are being developed, but core user voted features and fixes listed there have gone ignored.

    Can you please clarify what group is managing which user voice feedback. Per previous comment, I will like to know the go to place to vote. I personally don't want to vote on a feedback thats not being managed by the ado.net. With that say, are both of these user voice feedback managed by teams at MS or just the one in this post.

    I have a scenario/question regarding the upcoming migrations features. I have a project where I am working on adding modules dynamically to a MVC web site.

  1. I am building the DBContext dynamically using the DbModelBuilder.
  2. I am using a custom DbResolver object to delegate work on the ModelBuilder to a MVC area registration object. This custom object has one method, Resolve, which takes a DbModelBuilder.
  3. When an MVC area is registered, a DbResovler object is bound to the DependencyResolver. I am using Ninject.
  4. When OnModelCreating is called on my DbContext I am requesting a list of DbResolver objects from the DependencyResolver, and then calling Resolve on each one - passing in the DbModelBuilder.
  5. When I want to work with a DbSet on the DbContext, I am using the generic Set<T> method on the DbContext. This works like a charm. My DbContext is totally dynamic and since I have used the Dependency Resolver I can drop an area and the DbContext and changed accordingly. However, how would this structure work with plans for the upcoming EF Migrations feature?  While I very much like the flexibility of my current design - I don't want to be non-compatible with future EF updates/upgrades.

    Sorry for the confusion, we've updated the post.  The Entity Framework and WCF Data Services UserVoice sites are separate from this.  Both are alive and well, and the teams are actively working on addressing the top requests from each list.

    is there a roadmap where one can go to monitor if something actually gets votes in? uservoice is very far from a project manager and easily disgarded.

    What's up with your RSS feed? 3 days ago I got this post twice, then for a third time 18 hours ago. Also the RSS feed only shows the title for this post and the post on 13 August, MVC + Code-First +Azure Part 2: Development.
