Regular expressions are one of those things that many programmers dabble with enough to understand the concept, but not enough to memorize the syntax. Code completion is a big step towards making things easier. Beyond that, sometimes an explanation written out in English is just what you need. read more...

Book Review: Microsoft Entity Framework in Action(mosesofegypt.net)

Great effort spent on this book by the authors and the publisher. You’ll get a great value with reasonable amount of money compared to the information provided in this book. read more...

Entity Framework CTP 4.0 – Code First Approach(sankarsan.wordpress.com)

submitted by sankarsansankarsan(460) 1 year, 7 months ago

It has been a month or two that Entity Framework CTP 4.0 bits have released.I had read through the feature list back then but could not manage time to take a detailed look until this weekend.I always felt that Entity Framework’s approach towards handling of configuration(object relational mappings) and plain .NET objects was bit restrictive and cumbersome respectively.The mappings are needed to be stored in Entity Data Model(.edmx) files which are nothing but xml files with object to relational store mapping information.There was no proper way to express this mapping through code or attributes.But with code first approach we will able to describe our model using plain .NET objects and map it to the database objects through .NET code.In this post we will discuss the very basic steps involved in doing so. read more...
