December 10 2009
Just a friendly reminder that I’m passing on from one of the tech reviewers of my book who (thankfully) noticed that I had left a note in there about Single & SingleOrDefault not being supported. They were not in .NET 3.5 SP1 Entity Framework, but they are now supported in EF4. Single… read moreDecember 10 2009

Jiri Cincura has a simple, but elegant workaround – the ever agile Extension Methods! Model Defined Function as a method on entity (or… read moreSome of my Recent Entity Framework 4 content

November 24 2009
Even when working with POCOs, the EF’s ObjectContext can track the objects using ObjectStateEntry objects just as it does for entities that inherit from EntityObject. I was thinking about ObjectContext.ObjectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntry. This method has two overloads. One takes an entity and the other takes an EntityKey of an entity. Then it returns… read moreSlides and Demos from Recent Entity Framework 4 Presentations
