A Review on Programming Entity Framework Book.

Yesterday we released KiGG 3.0 and baselined the source code for version 3. No major changes in this release. We upgraded to ASP.Net MVC 2.0 on .Net 3.5 SP1 & VS2008.

I highly recommend this book. No further knowledge about Entity Framework is required. So you don’t have to know anything about EF1 in order to read and gain benefit of this book. Great effort spent on this book by the authors and the publisher. You’ll get a great value with reasonable amount of mon...

I had a chance this week to do a simple basic presentation about algorithms to undergraduate students of Computer Engineering in Alazhar University in Cairo.

Fifth part is about 9:45 min in length. Part 5. Covers EDM -Entity Data Model- showing its elements (SSDL, CSDL & MSL). Also this screencast shows how to query your conceptual model using LINQ to Entities.

Fourth part is about 10 min in length. Covers how to implement table per hierarchy inheritance model (TPH) with Entity Framework 4.0

Third part is about 8:20 min in length. Covers how to use stored procedures with EF4 to do CRUD operations on the database. The demo shows how to do mapping to existing stored procedures. The Demo also shows how to use IntilleTrace to view executed statements made by EF object services.

About Part 2 Second part is about 6:30 min in length. Covers Object Services and how to do CRUD operations using EF 4.0 object services. The demo explores EF change tracking capabilities. The demo also shows how to map return result of a stored procedure to existing entity in your EDM.

First part is an introduction to Entity Framework 4.0 with brief about its short history. This part also include a demo about new vs2010 designer enhancements for EF4. Also the screencast shows how to do a refactor to complex type using EDM designer.

Few months ago, on September 2009 my friend Rashid started to blog about this open source project “Shrinkr”. And I got a chance to assist him on this. In the last few weeks we were working on preparing this first stable release. And now we got it and it’s live on http://rdir.in.

You might hear of KiGG, the open source project that is currently live as http://dotnetshoutout.com. I wanted to expose part of KiGG data as an OData Service for read only. But I figured out that exposing raw KiGG schema might not be useful. So I had to choose between 2 options that were up to my m...

At the end of last month (27-28 Feb 2010) I got the opportunity to participate in Cairo CodeCamp event by giving a session about “Getting Started with Entity Framework 4.0”.

This is part 4 of this series which I don’t know when it will ends :o). In part 3 I started to to explore the Core of KiGG. In this part we are still inside the core, but we are going further deep to have a look inside the infrastructure. I’m going to talk about infrastructure for the next couple...

Video on examples for unit testing EF apps. Entity framework has been considered hard to test, This video shows how to do it easily with Typemock Isolator. You can download the presentation and code and try it for yourselves.
