[Entity Framework v4] Identity map pattern

Read Original

This technical article details the Identity Map pattern, a core concept in Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) to solve the object-relational impedance mismatch. It explains the pattern's purpose, provides a code example without it to illustrate concurrency issues, and begins to demonstrate its implementation within Microsoft's Entity Framework v4 to ensure single object instances per database record.
