Getting Started with the ADO.NET Entity Framework, Version 4.0
While most enterprise applications are object-oriented, the data upon which they depend is not. Often, binding these two platforms together can result in significant amounts of lost productivity and a less than optimal solution.
Come see how you can resolve this recurring theme with the newest release of the ADO.NET Entity Framework.
In this session, we’ll…
• Explore the Entity Framework 4.0, its related components and show how it all works
• Demonstrate how to build a business object model (Entity Data Model) and database mappings, from a database, from a model or from code
• Walk through a variety of examples of how to interact with the model
• Take a close look at how and why EF 4.0 implements “Persistence Ignorance”
• Show how to implement Entity Framework in a multi-tiered application
You’ll walk-away with a clear understanding of how the Entity Framework 4.0 can greatly simplify your DAL and enable you to program against a conceptual model of your data, versus the actual data store itself.
