recently i've studied on ADO.NET's Entity Model Framework and say 'wow' as ORM is one of the fevourite pattern i practice..but suddenly i've come to an ambiguous situation when i'm going to start. i usually follow the following 3-tier architecture..
1. UI Layer
2. BLL - business logic layer
3. DAL - Data Access Layer
a. DTO / DAO
b. Gateway (contains the sql query/stored procedure and connection with DB)
now when i'm going to use the Entity Model Design,where the DBML/ .edmx File should be placed? Because many a times i'm using the DBML file as DTO because of the mapped objects.. in the same time, sometimes DBML ( .edmx file in .NET 4.0) contains CRUD methods and stored procedured method as well as methods with different selection operations,- which should be in Gateway. so where the .edmx file should be placed !?!! IN DTO namespace !? or in Gateway namespace!
moreover sometimes there is no need for the BLL which breaks the rules of inter-layer-communication (UI > BLL > DAL.Gateway)! what makes me confuse is, what should be the ideal n-tier architecture when i'll use the ADO.NET Entity Model Design Framework

I can't to understand clearly how to create strong and quickly application using EF. For example, I have class ForumPost (table ForumPost) for select one of record I write method like:
public ForumPost ForumPost(int ForumPostID)
{
return
(from i in _dataContext.ForumPostSet
where i.ForumPostID == ForumPostID select i).First();
}
all works. But on page (I use ASP.NET MVC) I should display info from another linked tables, ForumName (each post have ForumID) etc. So, I modify this method to:
public ForumPost ForumPost(int ForumPostID)
{
return
(from i in _dataContext.ForumPostSet
.Include("ChildPosts").Include("ParentPost").Include("Users").Include("Forums").Include("Tags").Include("ForumPostPolls")
where i.ForumPostID == ForumPostID select i).First();
}
ok, all works. Then I want to make some actions in model with ForumPost, i.e.
public void RootPost(int PostID, ref Models.ForumPost Root)
{
ForumPost post = ForumPost(PostID);
if (post.RootPost != null)
{
Root = ForumPost(post.RootPost.ForumPostID);
}
else
Root = post;
}
it works too. But problem is in speed. I not need in RootPost all those includes. So, I should to create one more method like:
private ForumPost ForumPostIncludes1(int ForumPostID)
{
return
(from i in _dataContext.ForumPostSet
.Include("ChildPosts")
where i.ForumPostID == ForumPostID
select i).First();
}
then ForumPostIncludes2, ForumPostIncludes3 etc... second way - redesign RootPost with LINQ expr, not with call another method. But in this way difficulties to change DB. third way? How to do it correctly?

getting data from multiple Entities models into an MVC controller. Most of the examples I have seen for using EF in an MVC2 app only use a single entitiy.
I have just started using MVC2 in C# using the Entity Framework models (CIOps.model) created from an SQL database. I can create the controller and views using single tables of the model in MVC2, but I just cannot get my head around how to get data from multiple entity tables into the controller (similar to joins in T-SQL). I have included an example below of the controller code that works with a single entity table, tbl_tours (tbl_tour in DB).
Could someone please illustrate how this code would be changed to include additional columns from FK tables in addition to tbl_tours columns. E.g. the clients name from the tbl_clients, the coordinators name from the tbl_employees, and costs from tbl_costs entities? Is it possible to do this directly using the EF model entities/classes that are already created and not use LINQ, POCO, Repositories, etc.? The FK relationships are already in the EF models. I have included the whole controller code, but I just need a few examples of how to join the multiple entities, not rewrite every CRUD function function in the controller. I think this will get me over the hump in using EF in an MVC2 App. Also ignore the fact I am using the home controller, this will change in the application.

I've written a 2-tier C# asp.net application. Everything works OK, but if I modify the SQL Server data using the management console, the changes are not displayed on screen. It seems the application reads the data from a cached instance.
I have tried everything to make sure it's not a browser cache issue... the data remains static until I restart the app or restar the web site. even clearing IIS cache doesn't help. If the data is updated by the application, it works ok... Any info about a default setting on the EF that caches data automatically?I'm running Win Server 2k8 and SQL Server 2008, but the problem was there also for SQL2005.

I made a few changes to the DB in SQL server management studio then right clicked on the .edmx doc to get it to update. That seemed to work fine but when i compiled the app everything that referenced the EF seems to be broken.The Error list now contains the below error for all classes that used it.
The type or namespace name '' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I program in ASP.NET for a while now. My applications uses always the DataSet. Some told me that Entity Data Model is the DataSet for LINQ. Now I want to try to working with it I have some questions but can't find the answers. I hope someone can. When I build an application I use the 3-tier structure. So Presentation-layer, Business-layer and the Data-layer. Normally I had some classes in the Data layer with specific methods to interact with the DataSet. When I read the table or something I create an object for the business layer.
With the Entity Data Model it seems a little bit confusing. If I read a table (for example Company) the edmx has created an class already. So is the edmx a replacement for the Data-layer and also for the Business layer? Is the edmx also a good use for multi-user application or is a connected application better?

Is there a way to export a EF 4.0 Data Model to EF 3.5?
I looked around and found that we are not able to access EF 4.0 from a ASP.Net 3.5 project here: [URL]
Our project is the 1st to go to .Net 4.0 using Entity Framework and we (the team) were wondering if there was a way for the other projects that "might" need to access our data that are still using the .Net 3.5 framework.

I have followed this tutorial [URL] to get a google map displayed but now I want do the next step and read the long/lat and text out of my ADO.NET Entity Data Model and put it on the map (preferably the text should appear when clicking on the red spot in a white text box - as you know it from google). Has someone done this already and could let me know how I get the points on the google map? THis is how the function in my controller looks right now:
Function Map() As ActionResult
ViewData.Model = (From m In _db.ahn_mappoints Select m.LONG, m.LAT, BLOG = m.Text.Substring(0, 81) & "...").Take(2).ToList()
Return View()
End Function

I've been using entity data models for quite a few sections of my website and find it really good for saving things to the database.
After searching for a while, I can't seem to find a good way to populate a new instance with data from a database other than using a data reader. E.G:
MyClass.myID = reader("myID")

How can I share the auto-generated entity data model (generated object classes) amongst all layers of my C# web app whilst only granting query access in the data layer? This uses the typical 3 layer approach: data, business, presentation.
My data layer returns an IEnumerable<T> to my business layer, but I cannot return type T to the presentation layer because I do not want the presentation layer to know of the existence of the data layer - which is where the entity framework auto-generated my classes.
It was recommended to have a seperate layer with just the data model, but I'm unsure how to seperate the data model from the query functionality the entity framework provides.

I use ADO.net Entity Data model for work with database.
In my program, I want to update a record of user table, so I use the code below to do this.
In this function I send changed user info and then overwrite the information with the current user information.
After I run objUser = _user; and then call objContext.SaveChanges(); to save the changes.
But when I do this, the changes are not persisted to the database. I use this code for another programs but in this case the code does not work!
public void Update(tbLiUser _user)
{
LinkContext objContext = this.Context;
tbLiUser objUser = objContext.tbLiUsers.First(u => u.tluId == _user.tluId);
objContext.Attach(objUser);
objUser = _user;
objContext.SaveChanges();
}

I'm using Entity data model to reflect my database and I generate Domain service from my Entity data model.I understand that if I have changes in my database, I can just choose "Update Model from Database", but there is no "Update Domain service from Model" option available.How should maintain my domain service? I'm not going to delete away it and regenerate it whenever there are some changes, right?

I'm trying to customize correct displaying of dropdownlists so information shown in comboboxes is relevant to the kind of user logged on (maintaining referential integrity at data level)
e.g.: I have a user already logged on and depending on his profile I'd like to display to this user only the portion of the database that he would be allowed to see. That would mean that he might have acces to an specific subset of data, e.g.: businesstype = "3", loging level = "2", etc.
Is there a way of creating an Ado.Net Entity Data Model filtered on a Session variables as to maintain proper referential integrity at data level?

I am using the ADO.NET Entity Framework for loading data from the database. The classes are directly mapped to database tables in the database. The problem is that these classes are not optimal for binding to the UI elements. As a result of this I have some custom entities which are populated at the service layer and returned. It is these custom entities (classes) to which I bind the UI elements. My questions on this are1. Is populating these entities at the service layer the most appropriate way to do this. I personally do not think so because if we introduce some additional UI elements which need different entities then I have to modify the service layer again.2. What is the best approach/pattern to get this done.
