I'm going to be starting a new project with ASP.NET and I would like to use some framework which speed up the process. Recently I have heard that there are two main frameworks in that platform: the MVC and the Entity framework. Are they compatibles? If not, what are your advices on what to use and why? What are they best properties?

You can't compare them. These are 2 different things. Entity framework is ORM mapper, Asp.Net Mvc is a framework that helps building web applications. Actually - they even aren't mutually exclusive and you can use them both together quite nicely. | |||

Although they're different things entirely they are compatible. I am using both frameworks on a project now. | |||

ADO.NET Entity Framework is an object-relational mapping (ORM) framework for the .NET Framework. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADO.NET%5FEntity%5FFramework http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa697427%28VS.80%29.aspx Other entitty frameworks are -> LINQtoSQL, NHibernate etc. Model–View–Controller (MVC) is an architectural pattern used in software engineering. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASP.NET%5FMVC%5FFramework | |||

MVC is an architectural pattern to build applications; entity framework is a object relational mapping framework. Quite different animals. And yes, they can be used together, no problem. | |||||||||||
