Entity Framework Code First Development With WebMatrix   The existing data access story for WebMatrix is the Database Helper. Microsoft's recommended data access technology going forward is the Entity Framework (EF). This article explores how to use the Code First capability offered by EF within an ASP.NET Web Pages application.   The database helper was introduced to provide an easy way for beginners to use SQL in their web pages. As such, it works well, but has its critics. Some of th... (more)

Yesterday I helped a colleague with his ASP.NET MVC 3 site deployment. That colleague implemented the data access layer using EF4.1 Code First. One of the restrictions that he had was that he didn’t have database permissions to create a new database and couldn’t use SQL Express or SQL CE in his application. Instead he had an empty database for his disposal in the hosting environment without a way to ru... (more)

Sharing validation code between a WPF client, a WCF Service and Entity Framework 4.1 using data annotations by Alex van Beek

Recently Entity Framework 4.1 was released. 4.1 contains a DBContext class, which is largely a wrapper around the ObjectContext class with a simplified API. Now you might think as I did: “But if I’m comfortable with the ObjectContext class and I don’t use code first, why in the world would I need a DbContext?”. The answer is pretty simple. The DbContext has a feature which simply isn’t supported by the ObjectContext: data validation with the attributes from the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations names... (more)

As the word “code-first” implies, the EF 4.1 offers a code centric data programming paradigm. From a coder’s point of view, it requires little effort to map a very clean object model to a database. This style of programming is idea for explorative, bottom-up kind fsharp programmers. Since EF 4 CTP4 release, there have already been many buzzes. The following two blogs have in-depth EF 4.1 feature overview... (more)

EF Code First Drops the database and recreates it effectively wiping off ASP.NET Application Service tables. This blog post aims to have a workaround for this and create sample user quickly with database re-creation. (more)

With the release of the Entity Framework 4.1 I was interested to see how well the code first aspect works with multiple database vendors.  Could you use the code first modeling to change the database through a connection string?  I thought it might be worth a quick sample app to find out. I have an identical database in both SQL CE 4 and VistaDB 4.1.  Since they both have ADO.Net providers for the Entity Framework I decided to use them for this test... (more)

In this post you’ll see how Code First and the DbContext class in Entity Framework 4.1 RC will work with WCF Data Services going forward. WCF Data Services in .NET 4.0 was released prior to the Entity Framework 4.1 RC and so does not natively know about the DbContext class. There are numerous posts already on how to get DbContext to work with WCF Data Services in .NET 4.0, including this one by Rowan Miller. These posts talk about how to write some extra code to initialize the DataService class. This is ... (more)

Last week the data team shipped the Release Candidate of Entity Framework 4.1.  You can learn more about it and download it here. EF 4.1 includes the new “EF Code First” option that I’ve blogged about several times in the past.  EF Code First provides a really elegant and clean way to work with data, and enables you to do so without requiring a designer or XML mapping file.  Below are links to some tutorials I’ve written in the past about it:Code First Development with Entity Framework 4.xEF Code First:...

I was in Redmond this last week and talked to Jeff Derstadt, the Lead Developer on Entity Framework Code First (or, as I say, EF Magic Unicorn). What's the deal with this new feature in Entity Framework? What about the bad rap that EF got back in the day? What's new in EF4 and how does EF Code First sit on that? Which is the right choice, Model First, Database First or Code First? All of this plus demos in this off-the-cuff interview. There's lots of good info in this video including some insight into mu...

Our latest EF Feature Community Technology Preview (CTP5) has been out for a few months now. Since releasing CTP5 our team has been working hard on tidying up the API surface, implementing changes based on your feedback and getting the quality up to production ready standards. At the time CTP5 was released we also announced that we would be releasing a production ready go-live in Q1 of 2011 and we are on track to deliver on the commitment. .. (more)
