Hello all.
I work with a senior developer who is a guru .NET architect. We have had many constructive arguments over the last 6+ months and generally I concede defeat in most of our discussions. I have learned stacks from working with him. There is one design problem we are currently in disagreement with, however, and I would like some ...

Our customer advertises products but the product's attributes are vastly different from one another. There are almost as many product "classes" as there are products.
Originally, we created an EAV database where we added and removed attributes for each "class" of product. The whole thing works very well, but the complexity is mind num...

Hi all,
I'm in charge to migrate our own DAL to a solution based on Entity Framework 4 but, before I can do it, I need to be sure it's possible to translate all our "constructs" to this new technology.
One of the biggest issues I'm having is the possibility to read a field and build a custom type. Valid examples could be a bit mask sav...

Hi
I am long time user of LINQ2SQL, but have not used the Entity Framework yet.
One thing that is not possible in LINQ2SQL is to use tracked entities in different data contexts, or 'link' objects from different data contexts.
Example:
Foo f = null;
using (var dc = new DB())
f = dc.Foos.Single(x => x.ID = 1);
using (var dc = new...

I have business logic that could either sit in a business logic/service layer or be added to new members of an extended domain class (EF T4 generated POCO) that exploits the partial class feature.
So I could have:
