The System.Data.EntityClient namespace is the .NET Framework Data Provider for the Entity Framework.
Classes
| EntityCommand |
Represents a command for the conceptual layer. |
| EntityConnection |
Contains a reference to a conceptual model and a data source connection. This class cannot be inherited. |
| EntityConnectionStringBuilder |
Provides a simple way to create and manage the contents of connection strings used by the EntityClient. |
| EntityDataReader |
Reads a forward-only stream of rows from a data source. |
| EntityParameter |
Represents a parameter used in EntityCommand. |
| EntityParameterCollection |
Represents a collection of parameters associated with a EntityCommand. |
| EntityProviderFactory |

Remarks
The EntityClient provider uses storage-specific ADO.NET Data Provider classes and mapping metadata for interacting with entity data models. EntityClient translates operations performed on conceptual entities into operations performed on physical data sources. It translates result sets returned from physical data sources into conceptual entities.
Note
For more information about how to use this namespace in Entity Framework applications, see ADO.NET Entity Framework.
