When creating a standard MVC 3 project there is an EntityFramework.dll and .xml file in the Bin folder and a reference to the dll in the solution.
I’m not going to be using Entity Framework at all. Can the reference and DLL/XML files be removed from the project?
I believe that the EntityFramework dll is used in the standard out of the box implementation of asp membership so if this is something that you are going to implement yourself using some other ORM or data access then I can see no reason why you would need to keep the reference.
