Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 and Entity Framework walkthrough

Question

I am in the process of evaluating Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 and looking for possible replacements for current our data access layer.

The Entity Framework looks like a promising replacement to the data retrieval functionality in our applications.

Does anyone have a great walk-through/tutorial that demonstrates how to use the Entity Framework from soup to nuts?

Answer 1

The definitive learning guide in my opinion is Julie Lerman's book, "Programming Entity Framework".

For online tutorials, take a look at:

• Short tutorial from Stefan Cruysberghs
• Zeeshan Hirani's EF Learning guide
