Entity Framework 4 Table Valued Function

Question

Hi,

I am aware that table valued functions are not supported in previous versions of entity framework. I was wondering if this is now supported in EF 4? I cant see my functions in the edm designer so i'm guessing they are not supported unless I am doing something wrong?

If they are not supported is there a workaround? My table valued function takes a single parameter.

Thanks,

Imran

It appears as you can use them...

It uses the GetFriends() table valued function. Still i don't really know how to use it.

Thanks. I changed the data access layer to linq to sql in the end as ef just has too many workarounds at the moment.
