What is Weak Entity set?

It is a 'thing' in the real world with an independent existence. (More...)

It is a collection (set) of entities that have same attributes. (More...)

It is a collection of all entities of particular entity type in the database. (More...)

The collections of entities of a particular entity type are grouped together into an entity set. (More...)

Struct is a value type and
Class is a reference type.

Struct is stored in Stack - so if you pass a struct as argument to method - a new struct will be created on stack and values will be copied - this is a time consumingp process in the order of n.

Class is stored in Heap - so the same reference can be passed to various methods without duplication. (More...)

Strong typing implies that the types of variables involved in operations are associated to the variable, checked at compile-time, and require explicit conversion; weak typing implies that they are associated to the value, checked at run-time, and are implicitly converted as required. (Which is preferred is a disputable point, but I personally prefer strong typing because I like my errors to be found as soon as possible.) (More...)

Struct is of value type. If we pass it across methods in layers, a new object will be created in the stack thus increasing memory and processing requirement.

So class should be used for creating entity like Employee, Supplier etc. (More...)

Strong type is checking the types of variables at compile time and weak type is checking the types of system as late as possible which is nothing but run time. (More...)

It has been start thhe connection automatically and also automatically close the connection. (More...)

but these are not possible with EntityFramework.
