Title Body

I understand this is a beta (just checked the new version of EF 4.3 and it does the same thing) release and some functionality may be missing, but i haven`t seen anything to explain why... [Column(TypeName = "xml")] public string SomeProperty { get; set; } ... no longer creates a column of type xml when using EF 4.3 (column is created as nvarchar(max)) , I have tried EF 4.2 and that creates the column just fine. Just for reference i am connecting to sql server 2008r2 and have also tried the express edition. I am using XML to store data of constantly changing data schemas, and altho i understand that this will be passed back as a string I need the ability to create stored procedures against the xml data within sql.I have also tried using the .HasDataType() method with no luck. On a side note I am however able to create varchar and I believe nchar types, but not ntext or text types using the same method. So really my questions are: Should i be able to create columns of type xml in EF 4.3? Why can't I? Is there a correct way/work around to accomplish this?
