In this chapter, we will learn how to create a data access layer with the object relational mapper called Entity Framework. We will configure its IOC life cycle, create a CRUD with and without stored procedures, and log and manage exceptions.

ORM libraries help developers build data access layers without the hassle of table query complexities. For example, they can help you set the IsDeleted field in the next 20 rows of a table to False. It's so easy to write these kinds of queries...
