Nice articles series about caching of the datacontext from linq to sql or entityframework. It follows the logic series of steps a developer will take in learning how to use this, and then how to write tightly coupled code as a result. I have seen so many poor examples of using the datacontext in asp.net apps, this is quite refreshing to see someone attack the problem from where most novices leave it (tightly coupled) and move it to a more elegant design solution.
