Time column and entity framework problem

[alex costas]

I've been using the devart connector without a problem and tried switching to the new Connector/NET since it supports EF6 but I've got some trouble with a Time column. I get the following error:

{"Invalid cast from 'System.String' to 'System.TimeSpan'."}

First of all I couldn't find anything in the docs that actually describes the type mapping between the database and C#...does such a resource exist?

Second, what do Time columns map to, why isn't it TimeSpan, and what's the recommended hack to work around this issue?

Thanks
