ENT News | at | by Mike
Microsoft has released a new community technology preview of the ADO.NET Entity Framework, which allows coders to program against data defined in a conceptual fashion instead of directly interacting with information stored in traditional table-and-column fashion.
The CTP released this week includes a number of changes, among them tweaks to Object Services, Query, and the Entity Data Model Wizard in Visual Studio, according to Microsoft.
There is also a range of new features, including support for referential integrity constraints, better support for stored procedures, and native SQL read-only views.
