Using the Data Provider with the ADO.NET Entity Framework
The ADO.NET Entity Framework is an object-relational mapping (ORM) framework for the .NET Framework. Developers can use it to create data access applications by programming against a conceptual application model instead of programming directly against a relational storage schema. This model allows developers to decrease the amount of code that must be written and maintained in data-centric applications.
DataDirect Connect for ADO.NET Entity Framework data providers can be used with applications that use the standard ADO.NET features or with the ADO.NET Entity Framework.
See the README text file shipped with your Progress DataDirect product for the file name of the ADO.NET Entity Framework data provider.
