In Detail

Data access is an integral part of any application software. Entity Framework provides a model-based system that makes data access effortless for developers by freeing you from writing similar data access code for all of your domain models.

Mastering Entity Framework provides you with a range of options when developing a data-oriented application. You'll get started by managing the database relationships as Entity relationships and perform domain modeling using Entity Framework. You will then explore how you can reuse data access layer code such as stored procedures and table-valued functions, and perform various typical activities such as validations and error handling. You'll learn how to retrieve data by querying the Entity Data Model and understand how to use LINQ to Entities and Entity to SQL query the Entity Data Model.
