Spreading Inheritance Tree Mapping Across Assemblies in Code First - Gil Fink on .Net

published 766 days, 43 minutes ago posted by gilfgilf 767 days, 1 hour, 32 minutes ago
Monday, April 18, 2011 2:01:52 PM GMT Sunday, April 17, 2011 1:12:51 PM GMT
Today I helped a client to solve a problem regarding EF4.1 Code First. The issue that they banged their heads with was an inheritance tree mapping in their model which is spread across two different assemblies. When they run the application they always got the same exception – “mapping and metadata information could not be found for entitytype ‘entity name’”. (more)

In the previous article, you learned how to create a basic MVC application using Code First. In the second and final section you will learn how to prepare and deploy your application to Windows Azure using Visual Studio. Deploying to Windows Azure Preparing Application Having tested our app locally, it is time to set up Azure to deploy our app. Although this process may seem long, all the steps except for deployment only have to be done once per application.

The third series of Entity Framework tutorials, Getting Started with the Entity Framework Using ASP.NET MVC, has been published on the ASP.NET site. The tutorials create a sample application similar to the one that the two Web Forms series (Getting Started with the Entity Framework and Continuing with the Entity Framework) create. You can download a Visual Studio project that is a finished version of the series. Besides using MVC rather than Web Forms, this series is also different in that it uses the C... (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)

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:...

How to: Pre-Generate Views to Improve Query Performance

Before the Entity Framework can execute a query against a conceptual model or save changes to the data source, it must generate a set of local query views to access the database. The views are part of the metadata which is cached per application domain. If you create multiple object context instances in the same application domain, they will reuse vi... (more)

Over a period of time I have been working with ADO.NET Entity Framework and I am flattered with its amazing usability. I am a big fan of EF and especially with EF4 release a lot more avenues are open. I love to talk about this technology in any forum and given a chance I would love to work on any implementation and migration. While doing all of these stuffs I found one big question which always comes to our mind is performance and it is quite obvious that for any data access technology performance is a b... (more)

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...

Generating EF Code First model classes from an existing database - Jon Galloway

Generating EF Code First model classes from an existing database Entity Framework Code First is a lightweight way to "turn on" data access for a simple CLR class. As the name implies, the intended use is that you're writing the code first and thinking about the database later. However, I really like the Entity Framework Code First works, and I want to use it in existing projects and projects with pre-existing databases. For example, MVC Music Store comes with a SQL Express database that's pre-loaded wi... (more)

In the past I explained how to use the Code First Fluent API in order to configure and shape your EDM during runtime. One of the problems that might raise when you use the Fluent API as I showed in the previous post is that the OnModelCreating method might become bloated and hard to read. This is the time to get familiar with another model configuration option which is built inside Code First. (more)

A Smarter Entity Framework Include Method No CommentsProgramming One of the things I have always disliked about Entity Framework and their support for LINQ is that while your whole LINQ statement is compile time checked to make sure you didn’t fat finger any SQL statement, the Include() statement is not.  How many times has something like this happened to you?var account1001 = (new AccountEntities()) .Accounts.Include("Userx") .Where(account => account.Id == 1001) .SingleO...

Adding Metadata to Entities in The Data Model - Gil Fink on .Net

Sometimes I’m being asked how to add metadata to a generated entity in Entity Framework. This metadata can be data annotation or other attributes which can help the developer during runtime. One answer that I give is to edit the T4 template in order to add the attributes. This solution can be combined with the building of an extension to Entity Framework designer which can add more details to the EDM. But it can take some time to develop. Another solution is to create a MetadataType for the entity and us... (more)
