Having to abandon using the Entity Framework for my experimental app.

Was going to use it for my little app, but it seems like a very big hammer for a very small nut. Frankly the problems I’ve had trying to use have taken longer than the whole app should’ve taken to write. I’ll drift back to it but for the moment I’m going to build a DAL layer using Linq2SQL instead. All being well I should get a build out before I head back to Scotland for Christmas / Hogmanay (Scottish New Year).

I’m also going to see where my plan for using Nested Sets takes me…may end up totally changing and using the Sql Server 2008 hierarchy stuff, who knows!

I don't think Linq2Sql likes the Hierarchical databtype introduced in SQL 2008. As far as I'm concerned L2S is compliant with the SQL Server 2005 datatypes

If you figure out a nice way to to CRUD with Hierarhical datatypes let me know :)
