Entity Framework Tools for Visual Studio 2013 14.0.40302

Entity Framework Tools for Visual Studio 2013 is a software package created by Microsoft Corporation to extend the capabilities of Visual Studio 2013 for developers using the Entity Framework. Entity Framework is a Microsoft .NET technology used to build data access layers in applications that interact with databases.

• The tools included in this package enable developers to create new Entity Data Models (EDMs), which define the database schema to be used in an application.
• Developers can also use the tools to generate code for that model, including generating classes for database tables and views, as well as methods for querying and updating data.
• The package also provides design-time support for working with databases in the Server Explorer, allowing developers to interact directly with databases and examine their schema.

Using these tools, developers can create powerful data access layers in their .NET applications that are both flexible and efficient. The Entity Framework Tools for Visual Studio 2013 make it easy to create and manage these data access layers in a familiar development environment.
