MVVM: ado.net entity framework and model

I am writing an application in wpf that uses MVVM. I was wondering if I can use ado.net Entity Data Model as a Model in MVVM? It is the same? If not, why not? Thanks for any help. Best regards, Ev.

You can of course use the entity data model as a model part of the MVVM pattern.

You might have a look at the WPF Application Framework (WAF) sample BookLibrary .



This MVVM sample uses Entity Framework Data Models and is composed of various Views (UserControls).

as i understand it is possible to use entity model. but you have finally tied the entity framework relationship. when you plan to exchange your model eg. with a different ORM, you have more work to do to replace the model.



it is better to use the repository pattern for data access. with this template you have more flexibility at the end. similar question here
