ABSTRACT

The ADO.NET Entity Framework provides a persistence layer for .NET applications that allows developers to work at a higher level of abstraction when interacting with data and data-access interfaces. Developers can model and access their data using a conceptual schema that is mapped to a relational database via a flexible mapping. Interaction with the data can take place using a SQL-based data manipulation language and iterator APIs, or through an object-based domain model in the spirit of object-to-relational mappers.We demonstrate how the Entity Framework simplifies application development using sample scenarios. We illustrate how the data is modeled, queried and presented to the developer. We also show how the provided data programming infrastructure can result in easier-to-understand code by making its intent more explicit, as well as how it can help with maintenance by adding a level of indirection between the logical database schema and the conceptual model that applications operate on.
