The Entity Framework and Eating Crow

time to read 1 min | 147 words

I was at an Entity Framework talk, and at one point they guys from Microsoft were criticized for bringing the industry back because:

While the designer allows to get data from Stored Procedures, it is lame because it is not capable of generating them. Come on, VS 2003 had this capability, but the Entity Framework doesn't have it?

I laughed so hard about that...

After years of telling their customers that Stored Procedures were the only way, it was beyond funny to hear them being criticized on not support the old (bad) way. I also like the way that they tried to avoid saying that this is a wrong idea.
