Dump Linq-To-Sql now that Entity Framework 4.0 has been released?
- by DanM
The relative simplicity of Linq-To-Sql as well as all the criticism leveled at version 1 of Entity Framework (especially, the vote of no confidence) convinced me to go with Linq-To-Sql "for the time being". Now that EF 4.0 is out, I wonder if it's time to start migrating over to it.
Questions:
What are the pros and cons of EF 4.0 relative to Linq-To-Sql?
Is EF 4.0 finally ready for prime time?
Is now the time to switch over?
