ADO.NET Entity Framework Beta 2 is out, with tools :)

Visual Studio Orcas Beta 2 shipped a few weeks ago and folks have been asking how to work with the Entity Framework using the new Beta. Well, a couple of days ago we shipped the Beta 2 of the Entity Framework, which will integrate nicely with Visual Studio Beta 2.

This beta includes a bunch of work that we've been doing in the last few months. Probably the single most exciting thing in it is the fact that we finally included our visual design tools for EDM schema modeling and mapping. This should significantly reduce (and sometimes eliminate) the amount of time you spend dealing with the Entity Framework XML files.

A description of the release, the new features, and pointers to the download pages are available in the ADO.NET team blog.

As always, feedback is very welcome.

    Hi Michael, The types generated by the Entity Framework implement a few interfaces for binding (e.g. INotifyPropertyChanged) and the infrastructure also implements others (e.g. IBindingList). We do not add custom type descriptors to the type, which is what I guess you are referring to. In general, also, the built-in grids don't support hierarchical binding in the grid itself. So I agree this is an area where there could be a simpler end-to-end story. I'll pass this along to other folks to keep this in mind. Thanks for the feedback.

    Hi Pablo, I'm trying to create an Association but I can't, I think it is because I don't have Foreing Keys, is it right.
