What's the deal with this new feature in Entity Framework? What about the bad rap that EF got back in the day? What's new in EF4 and how does EF Code First sit on that? Which is the right choice, Model First, Database First or Code First? All of this plus demos in this off-the-cuff interview. (Sorry the first part of the video is dark, it gets lighter halfway through.) en Mon, 20 May 2013 22:27:00 GMT Mon, 20 May 2013 22:27:00 GMT Rev9 Re: Hanselminutes on 9 - Digging into Entity Framework 4 Code First (Magic Unicorn Edition)
I used this with nhibernate and fluent nhibernate from a long time, I really like it and saved my life in some tricky scenarios.

Nice to see EF4 is caching up.

Good work,

I'd buy 5!

I love EF CF RC WTF Wink

Seriously, it's soothingly pleasant to work with very few exceptions. In particular data annotations are very cool.

I don't understand the need for the fluent API so much though based on the example chosen: the example with non-unicode text for example should be able to be handled without fluent API calls. Code is nice, but if a simple data annotation can declaratively direct the data definition, then no need for lambda expressions.

I've been using it now for a month on a project and it's working so far. Despite some of its limitations, it's actually just enough for a fairly elegant domain model. I'm very excited to see what's new in the RC!
