Introduction to the Entity Framework 4.0
with expert Robert Green
The ADO.NET Entity Framework provides you with the ability to create data applications by programming against a conceptual model rather than programming against a database schema. This means that instead of working with SQL statements, you can work with classes. You design your model and behind the scenes, the Entity Framework maps your classes to the appropriate table or tables in the database. In this session, you will see how to start using the Entity Framework. You'll see how to create a model, known as an entity data model. You'll then see how to retrieve and modify data in code, including how to use LINQ To Entities to query the data. By Robert Green
