The N-Tier Entity Framework extends Microsoft's Entity Framework (EF) to provide support for n-tier solutions. The framework aims to provide the richness of EF in a distributed architecture while keeping its simplicity.

The N-Tier Entity Framework is an architectural framework for Microsoft .NET that supports development of robust and well-designed domain layer for line of business (LOB) software solutions of any size — regardless whether building a 2-tier or n-tier system; regardless whether building a Windows or a web application; regardless whether using WPF, Silverlight, ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC or any other .NET technology.

The framework is simple to use and provides rich out of the box functionality that allows for rapid development of standard scenarios with minimal effort. Still, it is flexible and highly customizable to support development of customized solutions for advanced and complex use cases.
