MSDN Roadshow Session 1 - ADO.NEXT – Entity Framework & Data Services

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

Did you miss the opportunity to attend the MSDN Roadshow 2008? If so we are doing a Roadshow rerun giving you a second chance to attend this event. Come along if you want to find out about the latest developer tools and technologies from Microsoft. The MSDN team will focus on what’s coming up next this year for .NET developers beyond Visual Studio 2008. We will also look at Silverlight, ASP.NET, ADO.NET and other future bits which involve more code and less PowerPoint. Please be aware that the content for this rerun is exactly that covered in the other MSDN Roadshow 2008 events – so this event is aimed at Developers who could not make those earlier events. For more details and the original slide deck see http://www.microsoft.com/uk/msdn/events/new/Detail.aspx?id=351

What is it?Technique for working with relational tables as if they were objects in memoryIntention is to hide away the complexity of the underlying tables and give a uniform way of working with data

Why use it?ProductivityRetain database independence

NotesThere are many ORMs for .NET developers already in existence. E.g.

LLBLGen Pro http://www.llblgen.com/Nhibernate http://www.hibernate.org/343.htmlEntitySpaces http://www.entityspaces.net/Portal/Default.aspx

Objects vs Classes vs Entities

What is it?Tools and services to create an Entity Data Model

EDM gives ORM to SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 etcTools and services for consuming an Entity Data Model

Why use it?ProductivityComplex mapping between entities and database tablesWorks great with ADO.NET Data Services

NotesStrategic but just released...

LINQ to SQLvar products = from prod in db.Product where prod.Color == "Blue" select prod;

LINQ to Entitiesvar products = from prod in db.Product where prod.Color == "Blue" select prod;

In general – LINQ to Entities does more – but not always!Only migration that will ever happen is LINQ to SQL migration to LINQ to Entities

What is it?HTTP access to an object model exposed as RESTful Web ServicesData and/or methodsData returned using ATOM or JSONRead/Write

Why use it?Easy to expose data over the internet/intranet accessible by any client
