I get lost on where the new entity framework resides, is that part of .net
v3? I want to use L2E! :)
.NET Framework 3.0 is an unfortunate name, really. It is actually just the
collection of stuff that used to be called WinFX: Windows Presentation
Foundation, Windows Communication Foundation, and Windows Workflow
Foundation, and Windows CardSpace. The ADO.NET Entity Framework is part of
ADO.NET vNext, which is currently in an August CTP release right now. That
framework requires the next version of C#, which supports LINQ and Language
Extensions - that version of C# used to be called 3.0 - I have no idea what
they're going to call it now.
man that is so confusing! I couldn't believe they called winfx .net 3 ...
especially since it won't include c# 3.0 or anything we want ;) Does anyone
know of a planned release date for the entity framework? or LINQ? - I have
a huge project that grew over the last 2 years and it needs a lot of
refactory including some o/r mapping and I'd like to use this ... since its
a rewrite anyway. :)
No known official release date for the Entity Framework, but they're saying
it might ship Q1 2007 (rumors). I also have a LINQ-based application I've
been writing that I want to rewrite in EF.
See my blog!
