25.3. Summary

In this chapter you were introduced to LINQ to SQL and how you can use it as a basic object-relational mapping framework. Although you are somewhat limited in being able only to map an object to a single table, it can still dramatically simplify working with a database.

Here you have only just touched on the true power of LINQ to Entities. With much more sophisticated mapping capabilities, this technology will dramatically change the way you will work with data in the future.
