I have Face issue after deploy patch KB3031055 and windows update, Offline database not working \syncing and giving error as below
The type initializer for 'ExtentPlaceholderCreator' threw an exception.: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'ExtentPlaceholderCreator' threw an exception. ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.EntryPointNotFoundException: Unable to find an entry point named 'SetClrFeatureSwitchMap' in DLL 'SqlServerSpatial110.dll'.

Using Server 2012 R2 with SQLSERVER 2014.
Solution
adding the following lines to the pos.exe.config
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.SqlServer.Types" publicKeyToken="89845dcd8080cc91" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-11.0.0.0" newVersion="10.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
This forces the EntityFramework to use the version 10 of the SqlServer.Types.dll, which doesn't have the Geometry type apparently.
And works fine.........................!!!
