Entity framework

Question

If I use entity framework, can I use only linq or lambda expression as well?

Answer 1

Lambda expressions are used, and are particularly helpful, for writing LINQ query expressions so you can certainly use LINQ and lamda expressions together with each other: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb397687.aspx.

You typically use LINQ-to-Entities when you write queries against the Entity Framework conceptual model: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb386964(v=vs.100).aspx.

Answer 2

Hi,

Yes, as @Magnus said that if we use the entity framework, we can use linq or lambda expression as well.

Then since this forum is used to discuss the question about the Windows Communication Foundation, Serialization, and Networking, if you have any questions about the Entity Framework, then it will be better for you to post it to the Entity Framework forum, after that you will get good replies from the Entity Framework experts.

Thanks for your understanding.
