I just assisted to the last VISUG session giben by Kurt Claeys about entites in WCF, meaning how we can use together WCF and Entity Framework in a SOA world.
Above the classical things about WCF (separation about Address, Binding and Contract, ...) Kurt also presented some frameworks like EFContrib (a framework using PostSharp), Entity BAG (aka Perseus) and EF Poco Adapter.
He also gave some hints about vNext, the next version of ADO.NET / Entity Framework. [Plus]
