CompiledQuery in Entity Framework - Gil Fink on .Net
There are times when we want to make optimizations on some piece of code. If we want to reduce the cost of executing a query in Entity Framework we can use a CompiledQuery to the rescue. Yesterday I used added a compiled query to a code base which was executing multiple times. This reduced the execution time of the repeating queries. In the post I’ll explain what are CompiledQueries and how to use them. (more)

Don’t Repeat Yourself - Gil Fink on .Net
Today while I was doing code review I found myself writing a new generic function instead of one piece of code that was repeating itself in the developer’s code. When you write code sometimes you have to duplicate some piece of code. When it occurs, this is the best time to think of refactoring your functionality. (more)

Using Repository Pattern with Entity Framework - Gil Fink on .Net
One of the tools for reaching for persistence ignorance is to build a facade between the data access layer and your business logic. Such facade will prevent the knowledge of how the data access is working and with which technology. That abstraction can be achieved by using the Repository Pattern. In the post I’ll show how you can use the Repository Pattern. (more)

Entity Framework Profiler
Entity Framework Profiler I was sitting with Julie Lerman today, and we got into a discussion on how to provide more information to EF users. It appears that there is much need for that. This is what I do, more or less, so we decided to tackle that problem in the bar. Some drinks later, we had a working version of EF Prof that was actually able to intercept all queries coming from the Entity Framework. Initial testing also shows that I’ll be able to provide much more information about EF than I’ll be ... (more)

After I wrote the post about the use of T4 templates in EF4, I played with them for a while (not in EF but generally with T4 templates). In an old project that I’ve created almost 3 years ago which automated the use of lookup tables I had an enum. That enum was meant to be the connection between an Xml node names and was heavily used in the application. (more)
