ADO.NET Entity Framework: Raising the Level of Abstraction in Data Programming
Summary: Entity Framework provides a .NET persistence layer enabling high-level data modeling by mapping a conceptual schema to relational databases. It supports SQL-based DML with iterators or an object-domain model, offering flexible mapping and multiple persistence strategies for legacy schemas. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
