Are there any open-source examples of ASP.NET MVC applications that use the Entity Framework? I have found Nerd Dinner to be helpful but it is using Linq to SQL.
I am trying to use the Entity Framework in a strongly-typed ASP.NET MVC project and am finding that anything beyond the simple tutorial becomes rather difficult to implement. I am thinking that if I could see some slightly more complex example code, that would help me a great deal. I am particularly interested in examples that are "real-world" and have to deal with multiple data tables when performing data entry/updates. Is anyone familiar with a good source for this information?
So far in my experience, I have not used much ASP.NET MVC but have been using the Entity Framework for about 8 months.
It is a data access framework which used to create and test data in the visual studio. It is part of . NET Framework and Visual Studio.
MVC is a pattern known as Model-View-Controller. It is made up of three pieces; Model, View, and Controller that interact with each other to provide capabilities to the application that implements it. MVC is related to ASP.NET in much the same way as it is to an application.
ASP.NET MVC is a web application framework developed by Microsoft that implements the model–view–controller (MVC) pattern. It is no longer in active development. It is open-source software, apart from the ASP.NET Web Forms component, which is proprietary.
The Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern separates an application into three main components: the model, the view, and the controller.
The EF team, in conjunction with P&P, are currently in the process of developing an EF (version 4) data access reference implementation that uses ASP.NET MVC as the front-end.
The project will be made available iteratively on CodePlex here:

We haven't yet made our first source drop but it will be happening within the next couple of weeks.
UPDATE: We have now dropped code - please be advised that it should be considered alpha quality and is subject to change.
Here is what I found so far
