Introduction

Linq for Signum is the Linq provider implemented by the open source project Signum Framework.

It has some important differences with Linq to Sq/ Entity Framework:
  • Promotes a Entities-First approach: The DB Schema is generated from your C# entities, not the other way around.
  • No DataContext: Database is an static class. You can still change the db connection through ConnectionScope and control object identity when retrieving using ObjectCache

As a Linq provider there are also other differences:
  • No support for SQL 2000 (implementing SelectMany it's hard on SQL 2000)
  • A more explicit model for outer Joins
  • A more explicit way of dealing with lazyiness using Lazy

Linq queries are the only way to write queries in Signum Framework.
