Interesting read, very 'edgy' stuff: MVC + EF.

The tests in this example seem pretty useless to me, it's like your defining the outcome and then testing it, ofcourse it's good. Also, testing if the correct view is rendered is going to be Tedious!

Can you post a more realistic example, maybe something from your real work? Testing the 'hello world' scenarios is not really convincing me.

Lastly, the part about Metadata Artifact Processing could use some more explanation.

Thanks!

This is an excellent article on MVC however it would be great if you could include more specific example for instance how do you upload an image of the product using MVC architecture, and how to use thrid party controls such as Telerik or Infragistics.

Thank you

Hi,

Any idea, when will it be possible to run such MVC applications on VWD 2008....?

Since VWD is an IDE, just any one can afford to download, i think, full support for this IDE is a must.

Thanks

Greetings,

I have been watching and noticing that you and increasingly many other developers are switching from VB to C# and it's variants.

Do you think there's that much future left for VB?

cheers,

Great examples, although I would love to see more samples with user controls, and ajax. Two things I can't seem to wrap my mind around with in the MVC world.

PK — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 06:41:10 GMT

Very good post :) I think the opening paragraphs need to explain (in layman's terms) the differences between LinqToSql and EF and why it might be appropriate to go EF or not. To me, this looks very very similar to LinqToSql so i'm not sure why i would use EF.

Secondly :-

"5. Set the connection string in the test project so that it access the metadata from EF model, but does not open the database".

It think this needs to be explained a bit more -> what does it mean, why would you do that?

Nice guys :)

PK — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 06:43:15 GMT

Oh - one more thing to add.

Please show us how we could do a simple MVC View User Control that has some 'actions' associated to it. Eg, a listing all the products, and the action could be a 'sort by' or 'order by' action or a filter action .. all wrapped up in a resusable MVC View User Control.

Cheers!

Very cool! In my humble opinion, MVC+EF (+TDD) can really change the game, so the unit testing part is my favorite here. Agree with what PK said, there seems to be extremely little document on EF, so distinguishing it from LingtoSQL will be good. More importantly, I would like to know unit testing without connecting to the database. What did it really do when you change from “Copy to Output Directory” to “Embed in Output Assembly”? If I have a Entity data model created from scratch (not from a database), would it enable me to use the EDM independently as an in-memory store?

Thanks and great work!

re: ASP.NET MVC Example Application over Northwind with the Entity Framework

jnw — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 04:26:09 GMT

Change to "Embed in Output Assembly" doesn't seem to disconnect the EDM from the underlying database. Just tried:).

Played around for a couple of hours now, but am still confused on how to access the model without opening the DB. Any suggestions?

On why I want to do it? Besides making the testing simple as mentioned in the post; I also want to design the model ahead of the DB tables. Just want to get the program running, then later map the model to a database (manually? is it possible to generate schema from an entity model?).

Thanks,

@PK - Check out this article on MSDN: Introducing LINQ to RElational Data [http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc161164.aspx] to get an idea of when you would use LINQ to SQL vs. when you would use EF.

@jnw - When you embed, you are embedding the schema files so you don't have to copy them around. Mike Pizzo recently demo'd starting from an empty model in this webcast [http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?culture=en-US&EventID=1032364889&CountryCode=US]. It's the first demo.

Thanks a lot Julie.

In case someone is also curious about testing without "opening the database", the answer lies in the step 6 (not step 5) of the Unit testing part.

Thanks for the great post.

whilst asp.net mvc affords testability, the entity framework DOES NOT! POJO is not supported and you cannot swap out the EF's control over the persistence mechanism. I don't see the point of using the MVC for testability, when your tests will still have and end to end reliance on the EF with DB access. It is possible tobreak this dependency which much work, and it simply looks like EF has not been designed with testability in mind.
