Entity Framework Detach vs Remove

Entity Framework VS LINQ to SQL VS ADO.NET with stored procedures?

First off, if you're starting a new project, go with Entity Framework ("EF") - it now generates much better SQL (more like Linq to SQL does) and is easier to maintain and more powerful than Linq to SQL ("L2S"). As of the release of .NET 4.0, I consider Linq to SQL to be an obsolete technology. MS has been very open about not continuing L2S develo...

Entity Framework vs Linq to Entities vs Linq to SQL

I read a lot of articles about how to work with a database in WPF .Net 4 application. As I understood, the main two technologies are:...Linq to SQL (L2S)...Entity Framework (EF)...but sometimes I also can see mention of Linq to Entities (L2E) technology, but can't find clear explanation what difference between EF and L2E....So, my question is: Does...

DevExpress XPO vs NHibernate vs Entity Framework: database upgrading issue

I can't comment on the other ORM's, but I have used DevExpress XPO for a corporate treasury application since 2007. The schema changes a little with every release but there have also been some big schema changes over the years as well. A somewhat extended version of the default XPO upgrade mechanism has comfortably catered for all the changes....

Entity Framework .Remove() vs. .DeleteObject()

If you really want to use Deleted, you'd have to make your foreign keys nullable, but then you'd end up with orphaned records (which is one of the main reasons you shouldn't be doing that in the first place). So just use ...Remove()...ObjectContext.DeleteObject(entity)... marks the entity as Deleted in the context. (It's EntityState is Deleted afte...

Entity Framework SaveChanges() vs. SaveChangesAsync() and Find() vs. FindAsync()

Any time that you need to do an action on a remote server, your program generates the request, sends it, then waits for a response. I will use ...SaveChanges()... and ...SaveChangesAsync()... as an example but the same applies to ...Find()... and ...FindAsync().......Say you have a list ...myList... of 100+ items that you need to add to your databa...

Entity Framework Remove vs State.Deleted
