Dallas CSharp SIG

Abstract

While most enterprise applications are object-oriented, the data upon which they depend is not. Unfortunately, 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 Microsoft ADO.NET Entity Framework.  In this session, we’ll

• Explore the Entity Framework 4.1, its components and see how it all works
• Define an object model and implement persistence from POCO classes, including customizing persistence mapping via the fluent API
• Walk through a variety of code examples that show how to interact with the model
• Show how the Entity Framework automatically tracks data changes and generates updates

You’ll walk-away with a clear understanding of how the new “code only” extensions allows the developer to implement a much more code-centric approach to store persistence
