Habitually Good

Ever since I have been developing data-driven .Net apps, I have always had an uneasy relationship with the ORM part of the app. ORM is of course a huge topic in the developer community; basically to me, it is trying to solve the problem of accessing data in from my object-oriented business design. Over the various projects, I have come across many frameworks, methodologies, and tools; each having its own merits. Funnily enough, I have never seen one from Microsoft themselves, until now.

I have been following LINQ a little bit (mostly reading what it is about), and very recently I heard about “ADO.Net for Entities” on a .Net Rocks Podcast. A quick search on Google brings very little info. Here is one link that sheds a ‘little’ light on it: http://www.base4.net/Blog.aspx?ID=44. From the little description, it seems like a framework integrated ORM, and combined with LINQ it kind of gives a glimpse at very exciting times ahead.

I use Rocky Lhotka’s CSLA framework a lot and I am wondering how that will adapt to this.
