title: Can I use dapper-dot-net with Entity Framework?
body: <p>I am trying to use <a href="https://code.google.com/p/dapper-dot-net/" rel="noreferrer">dapper-dot-net</a> to speed up some area of my asp.net mvc application.  I am using EF5 Code first also.</p>
  
  <p>Since dapper-dot-net is just some extensions for IDbConnection, can i just use </p>
  
  <pre><code>DbContext.Database.Connection 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to use dapper-dot-net?  I test it is working.  However, i am not sure this is the right way to use it?  Especially, when I use that way, will Entity Framework still has some impact that could hurt the performance?</p>
