patterns & practices: Data Access Guidance

This Data Access Guidance project illustrates how to implement the Repository, Unit of Work, Specification, State and other patterns using ADO.NET Entity Framework 4.0, the ASP.NET MVC framework, Unity, Prism, and the WCF REST Starter Kit.

Overview

This project represents some work the patterns & practices team did with the Data Platform team to implement some of the modern data access patterns using some new .NET 4.0 technologies. The wiki pages describe the fictitious scenario we used and where, how and why we implemented these patterns.
