This page will be used to provide code samples from the book and the sample databases. I am also placing downloads for my Entity Framework conference presentations on this page.

1st ed: Chapter 9 info on Independent Associations
2nd edition focuses on Foreign Key associations. In that edition, I wrote that you can download Chapter 9 from 1st edition if you want to learn about the other style of defining assocations. It's actually chapter 15, not 9. And additionally, there's some more info in Chapter 17.. Scroll down a bit further where you can find PDF versions of Chapter 15 and a section of 17.

1st ed: Chapter 15: Working with Relationship and Associations (entire chapter as PDF)
If you need to work with Independent Associations, which were the only way to define relationships in EF3.5 (VS2008), you won't find much information on that in the 2nd edition of the book. EF4/VS2010 introduced Foreign Key associations and the 2nd edition focuses on those instead even though you can still use the other style if you need to. This chapter from the first edition, plus a section of Chapter 17 (below), will provide you with detailed info on Independent Associations.

If you need to work with Independent Associations, which were the only way to define relationships in EF3.5 (VS2008), you won't find much information on that in the 2nd edition of the book. EF4/VS2010 introduced Foreign Key associations and the 2nd edition focuses on those instead even though you can still use the other style if you need to. Chapter 15 from the first edition, plus this section of Chapter 17, will provide you with detailed info on Independent Associations.
