Hi John -- ADO.NET EF is a great thing. But maybe it will be wise to wait to use it in production GUI when VS2010 will be released then it will be possible to have natively bound WinForms and WPF Forms (and ASP.NET controls? And SilverLight controls), and where ADO.NET EF entities' mapping to db objects will be more flexible, and where it will be possible to have entity model driven(?) (database model) development... I have recently posted here a link to the following presentation: "ORM, EDM, ESQL, Entity Framework, LINQ to SQL, LINQ to Entities - Confused?" http://www.infoq.com/presentations/ORM-LINQ-Entity-Framework-Eric-Nelson I suppose it will answer most of your questions. BTW, our http://northwind.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=26600 project has a couple of ADO.NET EF samples - SPJWinFormsForEF_VS2008.zip source code, 838K, uploaded Jul 23 Application SPJWinFormsForEF_Executables.zip application, 203K, uploaded Jul 23 Thank you. -- Shamil P.S. BTW, I have mainly skipped "LINQ to SQL" - and I'm now happy (:)) I will not need to rewrite my applications as "LINQ to SQL" development is stopped there at MS AFAIU... -----Original Message----- From: dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of jwcolby Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 4:43 PM To: VBA Subject: [dba-VB] Archives down I am unable to get at the archives for DBA-VB. Does anyone here use the ADO.Net Entity Framework? Why? Does anyone here specifically AVOID using the ADO.Net Entity Framework? Why? Thanks, -- John W.
