New EF CTP! ADO.NET Entity Framework June 2007 CTP is Available

The ADO.NET team has released the latest bits for the ADO.NET Entity Framework with the June 2007 CTP. There are samples on CodePlex, too. It claims many changes and support for a lot of new features ... I grabbed this partial list from their post:

Changes in:

Object Services
Query
Entity Client
the Entity Data Model Wizard in Visual Studio
no more default constructors in code-generated classes
improvements to stored procedure support

New Features:

IPOCO
detaching from long-running ObjectContext instances
multiple entity sets per type
support for referential integrity constraints
span support
transactions
serialization

Notice the IPOCO support. This is something that is a step in the right direction for getting the entities in the EDM to move towards full POCO. I am downloading the bits now and can't wait to unwrap the candy!

I have no idea what IPOCO means, do you? :) POCO means Plain Old CLR objects, IPOCO then means something like that with a word in front of it starting with an I ? ;) 'Impossible'? Imaginable?

INNOVATIVE! ;)

Frans, some funny possibilities:

- Imaginary POCO

- Incredible POCO

- Idunno POCO

- iPOCO (a new iPhone competitor)

In case my humor is lost on anyone ... yes, Xor is right. Its Interfaces for POCO. Meaning that there is an interface that the POCO entity would implement.
