jchannonon The many approaches to Entity Framework

I agree about your approach regarding a service in a larger app but in a smaller app I have come to the conclusion today that IDBContext injected into a controller would be better than a repo, as you say you arent going to change ORMs in reality and it exposes the native functionality of your ORM.
