I did a short session on the Open Data Protocol (OData) last week at the NxtGen User Group and I thought I’d share the slides here. There are quite a few builds/animations in that slide-deck so I’d suggest that downloading it will produce a better experience than viewing it on SlideShare.

I produced a new set of short videos around ADO.NET Data Services and dropped them on to Channel 9.

Someone asked me today how you'd go about ensuring that timestamp columns in your database tables show up in your Entity Framework EDMX file with a Concurrency=Fixed attribute on them.

I did a talk down at DevWeek this afternoon about ADO.NET Entity Framework. Whilst it was a small room, it was full and I had a great time - hopefully if you attended then you enjoyed it too and got something useful out of it. Thanks for all the questions :-) As promised, the slide-deck is available...

Someone asked me about this so I thought I'd share here. The question was around how you can work with database generated values and have them returned to the client after the insert. My experiment ran like this. I created a table; create table test ( id int identity primary key not null , someColumn...

I have a mail from Tim on the EF team that I've had for a little while. I'd asked a question about mapping and he'd given me an answer saying something like "Oh, you could always do X, Y, Z" and I'd left this mail in my inbox for a while because I've been distracted and also because I didn't really understand...
