Entity Framework is Microsoft’s recommended data access technology for new applications. Entity Framework 4.1 brings a set of powerful productivity features, including “Code First” support, the productivity-enhancing DbContext API, and the ability to work with an existing database or have it created automatically.
Microsoft ADO.NET Entity Framework 4.1 Release Candidate (EF 4.1 RC) is now available. This is a fully supported, go-live release. In approximately one month, Microsoft will release the final Release-to-Web (RTW) version. There will be no changes to the API or behavior between RC and RTW; just bug fixes.
The ADO.NET Entity Framework enables developers to create data access applications by programming against a conceptual application model instead of programming directly against a relational storage schema. The goal is to decrease the amount of code and maintenance required for data-oriented applications.
This Community Technology Preview (CTP5) includes the Code-First library that enables code-centric development workflow for working with data.
CTP5 is a preview of features that will be available in future releases and is designed to allow you to provide feedback on the design of these features. CTP5 is not intended or licensed for use in production.

Linquify is a Visual Studio 2008/2010 add-in and C# .NET business class generator for LINQ to SQL and the Entity Framework, helping to support rapid development of .NET and ASP .NET web application data layers. Linquify is free for use under the LGPL.
Linquify installs as a Visual Studio 2008/2010 add-in, which allows you to select your LINQ to SQL dbml file or Entity Framework edmx file and automatically generate a set of easy to use business classes. The generated classes allow you to support a complete 3-tier software architecture and simple handling of database objects, with full support for LINQ queries. Customizations to the generated classes can be easily made within the generated user partial classes.
Microsoft Entity Framework Feature CTP 1 for the .NET Framework 4.0 Beta 1 is now available. This Feature CTP provides the following features:
The ADO.NET Entity Framework provides strongly typed LINQ data access in relational databases. Entity Framework makes it easier for developers to work with their data because it moves the data model up from the physical structure of relational tables to a conceptual model that accurately reflects common business objects. Yet Entity Framework was quickly demonized as the “Albatross of ALT.NET,” especially by NHibernate fans.
