I can't get EntitySpaces to work.
I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." at this line

    >If MyBase.SetSystemString(DnnXmodManagerPodiumkunstenVormingenMetadata.ColumnNames.Title, value) Then

This is part of this codeblock

  ' <summary>
  ' Maps to dnn_XmodManager_Podiumkunsten_Vormingen.Title
  ' </summary>
  Public Overridable Property Title As System.String
   Get
    Return MyBase.GetSystemString(DnnXmodManagerPodiumkunstenVormingenMetadata.ColumnNames.Title)
   End Get
   
   Set(ByVal value As System.String)
    If MyBase.SetSystemString(DnnXmodManagerPodiumkunstenVormingenMetadata.ColumnNames.Title, value) Then
     Me.MarkFieldAsModified(DnnXmodManagerPodiumkunstenVormingenMetadata.ColumnNames.Title)
    End If
   End Set
  End Property   
   
I disabled schema and metadata at generation time.
I'm using v2007.0.0901
I used the "Suggested EntitySpaces Dynamic Configuration for DotNetNuke"
And when examining the the error code I see that the error occurs in  CreateSchema()  which is called by using AddNew() in SetSystemString() 

Can anybody tell me what I might be doing wrong?

Please post the code for your method that sets your dynamic configuration and we will try to help.

Well, I just used the default code as proposed by the gettingstarted.pdf  but changed it to vb

    Sub SetConnection()

        If (esConfigSettings.ConnectionInfo.Default <> "SiteSqlServer") Then
            Dim ConnectionInfoSettings As esConfigSettings = esConfigSettings.ConnectionInfo
            For Each connection As esConnectionElement In ConnectionInfoSettings.Connections
                'if there is a SiteSqlServer in es connections set it default
                If (connection.Name = "SiteSqlServer") Then
                    esConfigSettings.ConnectionInfo.Default = connection.Name
                    Return
                End If

            Next

            'no SiteSqlServer found grab dnn cnn string and create
            Dim dnnConnection As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("SiteSqlServer").ConnectionString

            'Manually register a connection
            Dim conn As esConnectionElement = New esConnectionElement()
            conn.ConnectionString = dnnConnection
            conn.Name = "SiteSqlServer"
            conn.Provider = "EntitySpaces.SqlClientProvider"
            conn.ProviderClass = "DataProvider"
            conn.SqlAccessType = esSqlAccessType.DynamicSQL
            conn.ProviderMetadataKey = "esDefault"
            conn.DatabaseVersion = "2005"
            ' Assign the Default Connection
            esConfigSettings.ConnectionInfo.Connections.Add(conn)
            esConfigSettings.ConnectionInfo.Default = "SiteSqlServer"
            'Register the Loader
            esProviderFactory.Factory = New EntitySpaces.LoaderMT.esDataProviderFactory
        End If
    End Sub

I checked in debug mode and all seems to work well. This code is called and works fine.

But I think I know what is the problem.  I'm trying to create a new record in a way that is not documented (and just isn't possible apparently ;) )   I tried to declare a new Employees() object and change the properties and then save.

I now trying it the documented way by creating an object through the collection. Probably that will work.
