Thank you very much. I've recently started a new job and although I've only programmed in vb.net I'm expected to learn C#. That part is a challenge that I can handle. My first day on the job and I was told that the project is done in MVC3 with Entity Framework. My first thought was..what's MVC? and what's Entity Framework. :( It's week three and I'm starting to make some real sense of the project and have even contributed a little. Now I need to figure out this RepositoryFactory concept and why it's important. I'll open a new ticket on that idea.

Your are having to contend with several things. The new language -&gt; get a book on c#, new technologies (EF), and design patterns. Check out websites like <a href="http://www.dofactory.com" rel="ugc">www.dofactory.com</a>.

I've been working on understanding MVC3 with Entity Framework for a couple of weeks now. I'm sure I'll have more questions in the coming days but for now. I found some articles that suggest keeping my Entity framework, Interfaces, Business Logic, and the Main MVC site all in seperate projects in the same solution. I've got this all setup and it's builds with no issues. I'm ready to define the DBContext and I'm not sure where to place the references. <br />
<br />
My Project looks like this:<br />
<br />
MyBusinessLogic (Added References: MyInterfaces, MyEntityModel)<br />
MyEntityModel<br />
MyInterfaces<br />
MyWebsite (Added References: MyInterfaces, MyBusinessLogic)<br />
<br />
Where do I put the DBContext file and do I need to do anything special to communicate between the website, the businesslogic, and the entityframework?<br />
<br />
I'm also very interested if there are any books on mvc3 that use this same approach where it has the seperate projects and outlines the development process?

MVC3 Entity Framework Solution with Seperate Projects

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
