  public List

        

Answer 1

In my case (a WebForms App) I solved the problem adding the following lines in the Application_Start of the Global.asax file.

SqlServerTypes.Utilities.LoadNativeAssemblies(Server.MapPath("~/bin"));
System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices.SqlServerTypesAssemblyName = "Microsoft.SqlServer.Types, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91";

I hope it helps someone.
