Part 1 - Intro to Delphi Prism with Entity Framework 4

This video is designed to be viewed at http://www.rongrove.com/Article/ViewArticle/32/part-1---intro-to-delphi-prism...

Entity Framework 1, which was released for .NET 3.5, wasn't easy for a Delphi Prism developer to use. If you wanted to use it you pretty much had to create C# or VB.NET libraries to do most of the work, then call those libraries from Prism. It works fine, but if you want to do all your work in the Delphi Prism language then it was really annoying. This screencast goes over the reasons why we had problems and why I'm so excited about the introduction of POCO support in Entity Framework 4. Delphi Prism developers can now use the POCO support and make Entity Framework applications almost as easily as in C# and VB.NET.

You can try the methods I used in the video "Install ItemTemplate for Delphi Prism" from C# and get it into your Prism list. You don't have to install it in the IDE, you could use personal templates. There are problems until a ModelObjectItemWizard is written though. See my post in the Embarcadero Delphi Prism Non-Tech forum entitled "Wizards in Project Templates".

I was hoping they'd make it more seamless this release. They did something with T4 templates, but I haven't had time to look yet.
