I work on a project and want to use an ORM. What should I use: Linq to Sql or Entity Framework? Linq to Sql provides more opportunities, as I see, for example support for enumeration types. However, also it is said that, Linq to Sql was for playing and learning for Linq and future strategy of Microsoft lies on Entity Framework. So which one should I use?
As I understand it, support for LINQ to SQL isn’t going anywhere, but most of the resources for ongoing development will be devoted to LINQ to Entities. I think you’re safe going whichever direction looks like the better choice. If it’s LINQ to SQL, go for it as long as it has everything you need- don’t count on new features.
