Sample Applications (Entity Framework)

In the Entity Data Model (EDM), entities defined in conceptual schemas and mapped to storage can be programmed as application objects. Many data scenarios that formerly required SQL strings embedded in code can use programmable objects.

This section provides basic examples that use mapped entities.
