EF 4.0 N-Tier Support: Take 2
About a year ago I wrote an article for MSDN Magazine outlining one possible solution to this problem. For convenience, it would be nice to have a HasChanges extension method for IObjectWithChangeTracker that checks to see if items in collection properties have been modified, added or removed. Following the release of Visual Studio 2010 and.NET 4.0 Beta 2 , the Entity Framework team put out a second CTP for Entity Framework 4.0, which includes enhancements to self-tracking entities. The idea is similar to what we’ve been able to do for several years with datasets.

MDN - Augusta Developer Event, 27th of August 2009.
This year several teams at Microsoft moved toward consolidating these efforts with the Managed Extensibility Framework, or MEF. This tool differs from an IoC (Inversion of Control) container because focuses directly at application composability, extensibility, and discover. She’s written dozens of articles including the “Ask Kathleen” column in Visual Studio Magazine. The MDN meeting on the 27th of August, 2009 will be an INETA sponsored event. INETA will make arrangements for Kathleen Dollard to be able to speak to our group. With the first session starting at 12:30pm.

T4 POCO Templates for L2S and EF
In my MSDN Magazine article on SOA Data Access I recommend exposing Data Transfer Objects (DTOs) from the Data Access Layer (DAL). file extension that you can add to a Visual Studio project. These objects should be Plain Old CLR Objects (POCOs) that are Persistent Ignorant (PI), eschewing traces of any particular persistence technology. How’s that for an alphabet soup of acronyms?!) Having said all that, what tools are available to automatically generate POCO entities from the database? The answer: None. Well, that’s not entirely accurate. Enjoy.

  • Better N-Tier Concurrency Management for the Entity Framework
    I just wrote an article for MSDN Magazine (due out in December) about developing n-tier applications for both LINQ to SQL and the Entity Framework. Danny Simmons, a developer and program manager on the EF team, just came up with a couple extension methods to obviate the need for original entity values. To accomplish this, I created an extension method for ObjectContext called CreateEntityFromObject which accepts a DTO and uses reflection to copy properties from the DTO to the Entity and create an EntityKey. Although v.2 Order UpdateOrder(DTO. CreateEntityFromObject. Enjoy!
