Summary

That's all you need to do to create a database using the new Entity Framework's Model First methodology. This is a big improvement over the first edition because it allows you to use Visual Studio to work through the design of you objects first and then VS can figure out how to create the database tables, indexes, and relationships for you.

This is just the first in a series of articles that will dive deep into the Entity Framework 4 and ASP.NET 4.0. In the next article I'll show you how to display records in a GridView, and also add, update, and delete records using the Entity Framework 4. Good luck on your project and happy coding.

It is important to note that the tables weren't added to the database yet. In order to actually create the tables you need to right click in the OrderDB.edmx.sql file and select Execute SQL from the pop-up menu. You'll be prompted to log into the server that contains your database. Once you are logged in the script will execute and the objects will be added to your database.

This is a good start, but Microsoft & Pluralsight do a much better job. See the hands on lab at:

I'll be writing a series of articles on this website to develop out a similar pattern described in the book but will be using EF 4 rather than LINQ to SQL. There isn't a date for the second version of the book.

I know "Vince Varallo, "the author of this article is going to include the “Entity Framework 4” in his writing 2nd edition of his great book, titled “ASP.NET 3.5 Enterprise Application Development with Visual Studio 2008: Problem Design Solution”. I am just curious about when the 2nd edition of the book is coming. I mean the rough idea of publish date. I can’t wait to read it.
