I know it’s not a “programming” question per-se, but come on guys – give me a break here…
I’m working at a large scaled, really slow organization.
We recently started a process to decide on a new ORM technology.
After looking in various forums, and test-programming with NHibernate, I think it’s awesome. Only problem is, I know that when I’ll say that Entity-Framework is from Microsoft, it will be really hard to convince my management to go in a different direction.
Any suggestions?
Unfortunately I know the feeling. I recently got told that we WOULD be using the Entity Framework at our organisation, where as I had been using LINQ-to-SQL with great success. It’s sometimes the lot of a programmer, people who don’t know what the consequences are, making the decisions.
My only suggestion is to provide your management with as much clear and unbiased options & arguments as you can. If you haven’t already, try the Entity Framework 4 and then provide a series of concise comparisons in the areas that will affect your business.
I would point out that the EF4 is significantly better than the previous version, so if your memory is from that version, take another look.
Good Luck!
