Hello

after much debating between nhibernate and EF, our team has decided to go for EntityFramework with EFPoocoAdapter to solve the POCO problem with EF.

Wondering if there are projects (> 400 db tables) being developed using this adapter, and if there are things that we should be aware of while using it.

many thanks

A: 

EF natively supports POCOs in .NET 4.0. If you don't plan to ship in the next month or two, you might consider using that. With all that said, I mostly consider POCOs a lie (my "plain" objects don't have everything declared public virtual, and have the type at runtime which I declared them) and somewhat less than necessary if you are good with LINQ projections. But if you really want them, .NET 4.0 has them.

thanks for the answer, do you know the release date of .net 4.0 ?
Well, word on the street is that Windows 7 comes out 22 October 2009. Make what you will of that.
