Introduction to Entity Framework

Entity Framework is an object-relational mapper (O/RM) that enables .NET developers to work with a database using .NET objects. It eliminates the need for most of the data-access code that developers usually need to write.
 It enables developers to work with data using objects of domain specific classes without focusing on the underlying database tables and columns where this data is stored.
It eliminates the  ADO.NET code that we write to connect to Database,Execute Query and read data from DataSet and convert to .net objects and vice versa.

 It Reduces the pain of developers and provides higher level of abstraction for faster development of .net applications.
