VTD Slides + Code

Hope you guys enjoyed the session. Though I felt it wasn’t promoted as well as it was last time. I had few glitches in terms of sharing my O/P window of VS.NET but guess you can execute demos yourself & get a hang of it. You can get PPTX, Code & SQL Script here. Let me know if there are any missing links. Until next time .

I am back at VTD :)

I will be talking at this upcoming VTD. My session is on – “Writing clean & efficient data access code with ADO.NET Entity Framework“. You can find details about it here. This would be my second VTD talk. If you enjoyed my last session which you can still download, I promise you the same value for time again. Do mark your calenders (25th November, 5:15 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.). Looking forward to interact with you again.

Entity Framework Links

                I just completed a POC on Entity Framework using LINQ To Entities(L2E). I will start posting the valuable findings and workarounds that took a lot of my time. Meanwhile to get started below are few links:

A real good one as it compares the constructs generated with LINQ To SQL(L2S). LINQ To SQL at present looks much better comprehensive & simple (after all it’s done by C# team ). But when you need to support multiple databases you have to look beyond it & that’s a major reason of moving to it. There are a few others which can be found here (look for Michael Pizzo comment) though I would have stayed with L2S if it worked with multiple DBs.

Other good one seems to be this. The official link to the MSDN is here.  Useful EF FAQ by Danny Simmons can be found here (he rocks even the most active official forum). Watch my blog for further updates on LINQ To Entites.
