There are many demos on the Internet for using the Entity Framework but few seem to address good architectural project structures to use the Entity Framework in a layered application. This talk will show a well structured Visual Studio solution to use the Entity Framework in a new ASP.Net Web Forms and MVC application. In addition this talk will go over Code-First and DB/Model First scenarios, POCO entities, the Repository Pattern, Object Contexts/DbContext, querying, and MVC vs. Web Forms implementation differences and the new Code Migrations feature of 4.3

You will learn:

• How to setup Entity Framework Projects without mixing everything in one project
• How to utilize the new features of EF 4.3 immediately in your web applications
• How the entity framework can be used in web applications
• How the new Code Migrations feature can be used to migrate database and model changes
