Entity Framework Moves to the Big House

Modified the original title of this post because it was derived from a misquote. Scott Hanselman clarifies with: The quote (what I said was) "EF is joining our team under ScottGu" and "EF is now the M in MVC". Scott Guthrie chimes in with “Yes – now part of my team (which includes ASPNET, WCF, WF, EF, Service Bus, BizTalk, Cache)”

Arthur Vickers, from the EF team, tweeted:

Also, very happy to be moving to @scottgu’s org with the rest of the Entity Framework team. Great for us, great for EF, great for Microsoft.

Just a reminder of Scott’s current role: “responsible for delivering the development platform for Windows Azure, as well as the .NET Framework and Visual Studio technologies used in building Web and server applications.”

A little later there was this on twitter from Noah Coad who is at Dallas Days of .NET (follow #dodn12 on twitter)

@shanselman at #dodn12 "just announced, we have an M in MVC, Entity Framework is now part of ASP.NET"

And then this interesting question from Daniel Bradley:

if Entity framework is to be part of ASP.NET, does this mean open-sourcing of the tools & framework?

Stay tuned….

(and since someone asked, EF has always been part of ADO.NET)

  1. Hi Julie,

    I have a project that uses the DbContext API. I guess the tech lead was more facinated by the programmer friendly features of DbContext API and have started using it. The performance for this application is crucial and hence we would want the facility of compiled Linq Queries. We would also not fully be able to migrate the to ObjectContext as the development is almost over. Is there any way I can convert the DbContext API to ObjectContext and use that in compiled linq queries

  2. venkatesh,

    With .net 4.5 all Lina queries will be auto compiled and cached. You do not even need to change your development environment. As long as the end users have 4.5 installed, you’re .net 4 app using dbcontext will get the advantage. Check out a recent EF team blog post on performance: blogs.msdn.com/…/sneak-preview-e
