ADO.NET Entity Framework step by step

The ADO.NET Entity Framework provides a strongly typed LINQ data accessexperience over relational databases. The ADO.NET Entity Frameworkmakes it easier to work with your data because it moves the data modelup from the physical structure of relational tables to a conceptualmodel that accurately reflects common business objects. The EntityFramework introduces an Entity Data Model within the familiar ADO.NETenvironment, allowing developers to map entities to relational data.This enables the creation of new business objects that provide a levelof abstraction from the data that helps isolate applications fromnaming as well as structural changes of the storage schema and allowsthe application to be portable to most SQL databases. The EntityFramework can be used to provide a common data model across high-levelfunctions such as data query and retrieval services, reporting,synchronization, caching, replication, visualization, and BI.
