Programming Entity Framework is a thorough introduction to Microsoft's new core framework for modeling and accessing data in .NET applications. This book not only gives experienced developers a hands-on tour of the Entity Framework, and explains its use in a variety of applications, but also provides a deep dive into its architecture and APIs. From the Entity Data Model (EDM) and Object Services to EntityClient and the Metadata Workspace, Programming Entity Framework covers it all. Written by Julia Lerman, the leading independent authority on the framework, Programming Entity Framework includes scores of reusable examples written in both Visual Basic and C# that you can implement right away. With this book, you will:
-
Understand the core concepts you need to make best use of the Entity Framework (EF) in your applications
-
Learn to query your data, using either LINQ to Entities or Entity SQL
-
Create Windows Forms, WPF, and ASP.NET applications
-
Build ASMX web services, and WCF services
-
Use Object Services to work directly with your entity objects
-
Delve into model customization, relationship management, change tracking, data concurrency, and more
Presented in a clear narrative style that reflects the hundreds of hours the author has spent consulting, teaching, and writing about this new data access model and testing its myriad features, Programming Entity Framework will help you master the technology and put it to work. |
