Hi everyone,
I've been talking with Microsoft regarding the Entity Framework and they desperately need your feedback. One of the features with the .NET Entity Framework 4.0 is the ability to generate/create an Entity Data Model using Code Only. Code Only allos you to use the Entity Framework, using plain old CLR objects (POCO) entities and without an ECMS file.
According to Microsoft, they need to get a lot of feedback on it before they can consider putting it into the product. If you are a fan of the code-first approach, please download VS 2010 and please play with the Code First feature.
You can get VS 2010 from here:

YOu'll also need the Feature Community Technology Preview available here:

Please download and provide feedback to Microsoft!
