  Entity framework is an Object Relational Mapping (ORM) framework that offers an automated mechanism to developers for storing and accessing the data in the database. Its purpose is to abstract the ties to a relational database, in such a way that the developer can relate to the database entity as to a set of objects and then to classes in addition to their properties. Entity Framework Development Approaches: There are mainly three approaches to create entity frameworks: 1. Code First Approach 2. Model First Approach 3. Database First Approach The Entity Data Model: The entity data model (EDM) is made up of three parts: Conceptual Model: The conceptual model represents the model classes (also known as entities) and their relationships. This will be independent of the database table's architecture. It describes your business objects and their relationships in XML files. Mapping Model: A mapping model specifies how the conceptual model is translated into a storage model. The Mappi...

Whenever possible, avoid using Views and Contains. Bind data to a grid or paging only by retrieving the number of records needed. Optimize and debug LINQ queries. Whenever possible, use compiled queries.
