EFProf – Profiler Tool for Entity Framework One of the important tools in your tool arsenal when you develop with an ORM tool is a profiler. Like SQL profiler to a SQL Server DBA an Entity Framework profiler is a must have tool to Entity Framework developer. The main reasons to acquire such a tool are to understand what is going on underneath the hood in the query engine and for performance tuning. If you think that you can use Entity Framework without knowing what it is committing to database then...

The book covers almost every aspect in Entity Framework and also suggests some solutions to problems that V1 has like for example an approach to N-Tier applications...
