title: LINQ to Entities, SQL Server version and setting ProviderManifestToken at runtime
body: <p>We have developers some developers who are developing against a SQL Server 2005 database, while others are using 2008.  </p>
  
  <p>We just discovered that generating the edmx against a 2008 database set the ProviderManifestToken to 2008, which means some queries won't work against a 2005 database.</p>
  
  <p>While this is a <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb896273.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">known issue</a>, is there any way to set this value at run time, based on a config file?</p>
