Is it possible to use Entity Framework with Windows Azure development storage service?

EDIT: Is it pos开发者_如何学运维sible to use Entity Framework with Windows Azure development storage service? and how?

Thanks.

No, it wouldn't be possible or practical. Azure Storage (different from SQL Azure) doesn't support joining and may not respond well to ad-hoc queries. But you don't need it. Azure storage already supports LINQ and object mapping.

Craig's answer is right for Windows Azure storage. For SQL Azure, there's no such thing as development storage, but you can use EF against SQL Azure in the cloud, and you can use EF against SQL Server locally.
