If you are already using ADO.net I wouldn't suggest you to go with EF. If you wish to use EF you can use it You can even use your existing stored procedures if you want but may have to do some changes. The decision with EF or ADO.net depends on other factors also like 1) if you want better performance and working on huge data then go with ADO.net. 2) Whatever you are comfortable with. If you have a very good expertise in ADO.net then go with ADO.net or if you have very good expertise in EF then go with EF. Instead of a 3-tier architecture I would suggest you to try GUI Architectural patterns either MVVM or MVC depending on the type of the application. If you want to use 3 tier architecture then there may be more layers required to have separation of concerns e.g:- for cross cutting concerns etc.

Hit the fire alarm - that'll get 'em out of there! - Life in the fast lane is only fun if you live in a country with no speed limits. - Of all the things I have lost, it is my mind that I miss the most. - I vaguely remember having a good memory...

As I'm a lazy sod I disallow null in numeric field as my default position and until the business can convince me otherwise that is the way it is designed. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

In some Dell models there is also the "F10" (If I'm not mistaken) key to access the recovery partition. But most times this is a question of timming with the Crt+F11 shortcut. here is a good guide for the multiple options of recover you might won't to try, and also pros and cons of each : http://forum.notebookreview.com/dell/453164-dell-system-recovery-guide.html#post5768224 Turn on the computer, at the "Dell" splash screen hold down CTRL and press F11. Let go of both keys. I think the trick is to hold CTRL just after you turn it on and then press F11 a few times... eventually you'll get it :) Hope this helps.
