Danny,

I think I have a little something going on with #5 for you, but I'm not sure. What I basically do right now is create what I call a "Fascade Assembly" that is a duplicate schema of a target assembly. Properties that are relationships are made as setters/getters of List<EntityFascade> and are hydrated based on policies defined in configuration.

I'm actually using some good ol' ObjectBuilder policies to dictate how properties should be copied over, and how deep these relationships should be copied. I'm thinking about making this a CodePlex project and having people take a peek at it. I could be completely off my rocker but I think it's something worth looking at. :)

Amazing articles. I enjoy reading them and I'm glad someone is putting thought into this space!

That's great Mike. It would be wonderful if you wanted to share what you have been doing--it's my hope that a number of folks will do that, and we can all benefit.

I think one of the major challenges with #5 is determining the right way to specify the contract. It will probably take us a few iterations to get that correct, but there's no reason we can't start the first iterations now created on top of the basic building blocks that the EF provides.

Entity Framework FAQ(转)

江南白衣 — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:22:41 GMT

The Entity Framework enables developers to reason about and write queries in terms of the EDM model rather than the logical schema of tables, joins, foreign keys, and so on. Many enterprise systems have multiple applications/databases with varying degrees
