Can Entity Framework deal with multiple result sets (each from joined tables) from a stored procedure?

In Linq to SQL, I can't find an easy way to deal with multiple result sets returned by a stored procedure where each result set is from table joins. Each result set does not map directly to a table. (can't change this behavior). For now, it seems using a DataSet is a lot simpler.

Can the current Entity Framework or the upcoming one, 4.0, deal with these kind of scenarios straight from the designer? Or开发者_JAVA技巧 even from code done easily?

This is an old question, but time marches on. I just wanted to add that as of the June 2011 CTP release EF now supports multiple result sets from a stored proc:

Disclaimer: The feature isn't part of EF 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3. Apparently it is going to be packaged with .NET 4.5 & EF 5.0.

This isn't supported out of the box in the new EF.

But there is a project on CodeGallery called EF Extensions that shows how to do this easily enough.

Hope this helps
