Entity Framework v4 examples and tutorials of conceptual model mapping

Question

In an application I'm writing I have a fairly complicated Database model. I'd like to use EF4 to map this to a whole lot nicer conceptual model. However all the tutorials I've read are with samples of 2 or 3 tables which all map 1 on 1 to the conceptual model.

I'd like to learn how to correctly map the database model to a different conceptual model using VS 2010. However I can't find any good tutorials or (preferabally) instruction video's.

Somebody got any tips, links or even books?

Answer 1

I'd have the same question. If someone can point to a tutorial, video, anything. Is conceptual model only supported in .Net 4? I'm using 3.5, would it work?

Answer 2

Here are some interesting mapping scenarios.

• TPT, TPC, TPH hierarchy mapping
• Entity splitting
• Multiple entity sets per type.
