Entity Framework Extensions Collection

Rodolfo Finochietti — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 14:15:28 GMT

In the lasts months I've been working on a project where I use Entity Framework. For this project I was developing some extension methods that facilitate working with EFX. My favorites are:

Include: allows to configure the eager load with expressions rather than strings.
EnsureLoad: allows to load a collection or reference safely with lazy load.
LoadByKey: If an object is in the context this method returns it. Otherwise return the object from the database.
ToTraceQuery: similiar to .ToTraceString( ) but better :).

Download the code of this extensions from here.

[Spanish] ManageIT

Rodolfo Finochietti — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 14:06:21 GMT

Ayer tuve el agrado de participar en el evento ManageIT. La charla en la que participe (junto con Jorge Fioranelli, Mariano Sánchez y Nicolas Mohamed) fue muy distinta de las que generalmente doy, casi no hablamos de tecnología y no centramos en como gestionamos un equipo de desarrollo utilizando metodologías agiles.

Aquí pueden descargar la presentació.

Gracias a todo los que asistieron, y al MUG por la excelente organización del evento.
