For ISVs: Using Microsoft ADO.NET Entity Framework with MySQL for Lower COGS

The Entity Framework is a new technology that was developed by Microsoft and delivered as part of .NET 3.5 SP1. This framework abstracts the relational schema of the database and presents it as a conceptual schema. This is particularly beneficial for ISVs because by working with a conceptual schema, the commercial application developer avoids having to write complicated joins to connect all the related items of data, greatly reducing development time, resources and therefore, COGS. ISV developers can access their data using ORM-like classes, LinQ syntax, or with a new SQL syntax named EntitySQL, all of which further reduce COGS.

In this new web seminar you'll learn about the new Entity Framework and how you can access these and other benefits with MySQL:

• Develop your application against SQL Server and then switch it to MySQL with zero code changes
• Optimize your database schema without requiring any code changes in your application
• Use LinQ syntax for type safety in your applications
