Title: POCO es mucho: WCF, EF, and Class Design
(- or – a little is a lot)
Abstract:
Since the release of WCF 3.5 and the capability of LINQ to SQL to support POCO (Plain Old CLR Object) there has been a real shortcoming in the Entity Framework since its first public outing. This short coming has made it difficult to fully realize the benefits of POCO in a multi-tiered architecture, especially ones that are based on a EF-WCF-Client model. With the advent of .NET 4.0 on the horizon and VS 2010 being tried out by the development community, we have finally seeing the unshackling of POCO with EF 4.0!
This presentation will show how POCO was treated pre-4.0 and how it can be used in the new .NET framework and more specifically the improvements of EF.
