We recently posted about our plans to rationalize how we name, distribute and talk about releases. The feedback we have heard so far is confirming that we are headed down the right track. Following the plans we shared, the next installment of Entity Framework will be EF 4.2, this post will share the...
Ultimate EFv4 CTP4 Code First (full mapping) example (using Firebird) | Jiří {x2} Činčura
There’s a lot of content for latest CTP, CTP4, for Entity Framework “new features”. It’s mainly focused on Code First stuff, that fills the triad with Database First and Model First. I like Code First but what I also like is maintainable code. Hence I was more trying not to use convention-over-configuration , in opinion good for only small projects, and focus on specifying everything the way I want it to be, especially with my database structure (yes, I’m data consistency and storage freak). Let’s model some kind of simple library and try to use there couple of Entity Framework’s features. And to make things worse, try to do it with ADO.NET provider for Firebird .Dino Esposito Dino Esposito follows up on last month's column, discussing why long polling is useful and how you can use SignalR to facilitate real-time client/server communication.

Tuesday, April 03 2012 - Data Access A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post showing how EF5 uses DbLocal as its default database along with a screenshot of the configuration info that EF5 puts into your config (web.config or app.config) of the project that you’ve installed EF5 into. Since then, EF5 Beta 2 was released and the details have... Read More... EF 4.x: EF 4.1+ has a DataAnnotations namespace for the new EF related annotations.

Getting Started with WCF WebHttp Services in .NET 4 - The .NET Endpoint - Site Home - MSDN Blogs
Over the course of this blog post series, we will be building a web service called TeamTask that utilizes all of the new features available in WCF WebHttp Services . The TeamTask service allows a team to track tasks that are assigned to members of the team. It is a relatively simple service that introduces the concept of a user and the concept of a task. A user has a name, a manager, and a list of assigned tasks. A task has an id, a title, a status (in progress, blocked, completed, etc.), relevant dates and an owner.Steve Sanderson’s blog

MvcScaffolding is a tremendous productivity improvement for MVC developers. Earlier this year, Steve Sanderson posted the definitive 7-part series on MvcScaffolding which is a must-read for anyone serious about doing scaffolding. The best part about the scaffolding infrastructure is that MvcScaffolding is actually built on top of another package called T4Scaffolding. T4Scaffolding can be used as the basis for *any* scaffolding – not just MVC projects.

As some of you might know, I’ve spent much of my time the last 6 months working on Windows Azure – which is Microsoft’s Cloud Computing Platform (I also continue to run the teams that build ASP.NET, core pieces of .NET and VS, and a bunch of other products...
