hi,

The entity framework can be a powerful tool which allows developers to model data specifically for their application. It also allows developers to easily bind the data to controls and manage relationships between tables. The framework can provide an additional layer of abstraction allowing developers more freedom in how the data is presented without spending a lot of time on storage and access.

Hi,

but why it is faster and what are the concerns of performance?

Thanks.

it's faster because you don't need to create every single entity and logic to retreave / manage the data.
note you must create a db structure with the idea that you are going to use EF, it's a bit harder to make an existent db to work with EF in a second time.

about performances i figure out that the very first call to EF in a period (in my case a day) is sometime very slow (20sec). That apart the other calls are ok.
