Difference between repository and service?

Question

What\'s the difference between a repository and a service? I don\'t seem to grasp it.

I\'m talking about data access through a data access layer, typically with linq

Answer 1

The repository is where the data is stored. The service is what manipulates the data.

In a real-world situation comparison, if your money is stored in a vault in a bank, the vault is the repository. The teller that deposits, withdraws, etc is the service.
