While most enterprise applications are object-oriented, the data upon which they depend is not.

Come see how you can effectively bind these two worlds together by leveraging the Microsoft ADO.NET Entity Framework. In this session, we’ll…

• Explore the Entity Framework 4, its components and see how it all works
• Learn about the benefits and drawbacks of the 3 different approaches to using the tool
• Generate a business object model with database mappings
• 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
• Deep-dive into the code-only features of the recent 4.1 release

You’ll walk-away with a clear understanding of the different approaches to implementing Entity Framework in your project.
