Jon Skeet posted a large series (http://murl.me/1f1) on Reimplementing
LINQ to Object. Obviously not quite related but close.

I would love to find something like this for the Entity Framework.

I understand entity framework to be the thing that takes the SQL out of
database access. Where your code calls methods in classes that the EDMX
created to read and write to the database.
here is some code that calls into EF classes to write a row to a database
table:

software_mainEntities _db = new software_mainEntities();

     var userSystem = new UserSystem()
     {
       UserId = userRow.UserId,
       SerialNbr = Form["SerialNbr"].TrimWhitespace(),
       LicenseKey = Form["LicenseKey"].TrimWhitespace(),
       ModelText = Form["ModelText"].TrimWhitespace( ),
       OsRelease = Form["OsRelease"].TrimWhitespace( )
     };

     if (ModelState.IsValid)
     {
       _db.AddToUserSystems(userSystem);
       _db.SaveChanges();
       return RedirectToAction("AccountMaint");
     }

I want to add the table to a .edmx file (Entity Framework in VS2010).
At least that is my understanding to enable this. I want to do this so
I don't have to write the specific queries that I need and fill the
object every time.

Here's a sample of what I do now:
https://gist.github.com/f48d2138b5ad6fcb2131

After the object is created, it is simple to move data around and do
some basic sorting and filtering in the object itself without SQL.

Probably should write a full article on this. This works well within
the ASP.NET MVC framework.

IBM FAIL! It may be a .NET 2.0 driver, but it still doesn't show up in

the various drop downs. I have yet to install the Client Access 7.1

drivers.

Those will be next.
