Topic - Intro to Entity Framework and LINQ to Entities
Most business applications involve a database. ORM tools provide a means for reducing the impedance mismatch between programming objects and the database structure. Microsoft, with the Entity Framework, has further improved development productivity. This presentation will introduce you to how easy it is to start developing with the Entity Framework 4.0 and LINQ to Entities. Some of the topics we will cover: 1. What is the Entity Framework and why should you care? 2. Creating an Entity Data Model from a database 3. Creating an Entity Data Model by developing the model and generating the database from the model 4. Exploring the code and different parts of the EDM including the mappings 5. Using the Entity Data Model from a separate project 6. Using LINQ to Entities 7. Creating a simple parent-child Windows Form with minimal code and effort
