How do I download the videos?

  • To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”

Why should I download videos from Channel9?

  • It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
  • You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
  • If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!

Which version should I choose?

  • If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality MP4 file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
  • If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality MP4 file.
  • If you have a Windows Phone, iPhone, iPad, or Android device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
  • If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.

Right click “Save as…”

In this episode, Rowan Miller shows you how to get started using his team's latest release, Entity Framework 5. Using a new ASP.NET MVC 4 project, he creates a database using code, then scaffolds an ASP.NET MVC 4 web site to enter and view data from the database. Using the new Migrations features of EF, he then adds some setup and teardown logic and changes the schema. Near the end, the new spatial data features of EF5 are used to demonstrate a geographical search feature, wherein he sorts a series of records in the database according to their proximity to his office. These new spatial features alone make this an exciting episode. Come check out EF5 and see how to use it in your ASP.NET MVC 4 applications today.

    This was a fantastic introduction to EF5.  Glad to see Migrations as that is exactly what was missing for us to use Code First EF in our project.  Enums finally!! Smiley

     

    Thanks Rowan and team!

    Really impressed with the geoSpatial capabilities of EF5...that's a REALLY helpful functional offering that otherwise requires 3rd party libraries or TSQL coding(NO!).

    Fantastic! Great new capabilities!

    But... what about help ? 'Get-Help EntityFramework' command is not working in VS2012. Am I missing something?

get-help : Get-Help could not find EntityFramework in a help file in this session. To download updated help topics type: "Update-Help". To get help online, ...

     

    I am using EF 4.3.1.
