Custom properties in entity framework

Question

Hi all,

I'm wondering if this is feasible and how. I've an entity that is a simple 1 to 1 mapping against a database. I'd like to add a custom property to this entity that is the result of a stored procedure call. This SP returns a collection of the same entity (hierarchical data).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, Fabian

You could create a partial class with the same name and create a property that gets the collection. In the class have a private collection that you fill if empty in the get with a private function or just return it if the collection is already populated.
