Entity Framework is a set of ADO.NET technologies that support the data-oriented software development.
Typically, today, developers of data-driven applications perform the modelling of entities and relationships in an object-oriented way, and then have to deal with the format in which these entities have to be put in a database engine. The data can be physically distributed across multiple storage systems and even applications that work with only one database system have to make trade-offs between the logical format of the modelled data, present in the data model, and the physical format, easy to maintain and oriented to an efficient access.
Entity Framework enables developers to work with data in the form of domain-specific objects, as modelled in the data abstract model, without worrying about the tables of the database where they are stored.
With Entity Framework, developers can work at an abstraction level higher than when they have to deal directly with the data, and can create and maintain data-driven applications with less code than with traditional applications.
As Entity Framework is a component of the .NET Framework, applications that use Entity Framework can run on any computer that has .Net framework version 3.5 SP1 or above installed.
In the next article we will see a small example of how to use ADO.Net Entity Framework.
