Some great links for EFramework and Unit of Work implementation.

Earlier this month the data team shipped the Release Candidate of EF 4.1. The most exciting feature of EF 4.1 is Code First, a new development pattern for EF which provides a really elegant and powerful code-centric way to work with data as well as an alternative to the existing Database First and Model First patterns. Code First is designed based on Convention over Configuration paradigm and focused around defining your model using C#/VB.NET classes, these classes can then be mapped to an existing database or be used to generate a database schema. Additional configuration can be supplied using Data Annotations or via a fluent API.  I’m a big fan of the EF Code First approach, and wrote several blog posts about it based on its CTP5 build: Associations in EF Code First CTP5: Part 1 – Complex Types Associations in EF Code First CTP5: Part 2 – Shared Primary Key Associations Associations in EF Code First CTP5: Part 3 – One-to-One Foreign Key Associations Inheritance with EF Code First CTP5: Part 1 – Table per Hierarchy (TPH) Inheritance with EF Code First CTP5: Part 2 – Table per Type (TPT) Inheritance with EF Code First CTP5: Part 3 – Table per Concrete Type (TPC) http://weblogs.asp.net/manavi/archive/2011/03/27/associations-in-ef-4-1-code-first-part-1-introduction-and-basic-concepts.aspx ---------------------- Generically Implementing the Unit of Work & Repository Pattern with Entity Framework in MVC & Simplifying Entity Graphs This will be part two of a six part series of blog posts.
