Entity Framework Links #1

  • Makale

The EF team is starting a regular series to recap interesting articles, posts and other happenings in the EF world. Here is the first one…

 

EF5

Our team recently announced the release of EF5. As part of the release we also updated the EF MSDN site, making it the go to place for EF content. As part of the update we created a short (2min) video that covers the different ways you can work with EF. We also created  a bunch of walkthroughs and videos that can be found on the Getting Started page.

Julie Lerman blogged about the new EF Designer in Visual Studio 2012 that generates DbContext code by default.

Jason Zander posted a walkthrough showing EF5 and ASP.NET Web API in action. You can find the code from the walkthrough on CodePlex.

Rowan Miller demoed some new EF5 features in a 10min session for the Visual Studio launch. Rowan also blogged about calling stored procedures with multiple result sets in Code First and customizing ‘Reverse Engineer Code First’ in the EF Power Tools.

 

EF6 & Open Source

In addition to releasing EF5 we also announced that we will be developing EF6 in an open source code base. You can test out some of the features we’ve already checked in using the nightly signed builds.

Arthur Vickers from our team posted a 5 part series on contributing to the EF code base.

    Will EF6 have support for SQL 2008 HierarchyId? This is being a deal breaker for some of our applications!

    @Mark - It's not on our planned set of features at this stage.

    It is been a very long time since something new happened regarding EF. Any news about EF 6? when will the beta arrive? what features will it have? (support for Code First SPROC and TVF is my main concern)

    @Khaled - The best place to keep up to date with what's happening with EF day-to-day is on our CodePlex site, in particular you can see specs for the features we are working on here - entityframework.codeplex.com/wikipage. We're working to release EF6 Alpha 1 in the next few weeks. We haven't started on SPROC support for Code First yet, but it's one of the next features we'll be working on.

    Great job on the 10 min video Rowan, It was really useful to have a quick look at some new parts of EF5.
