Entity Framework POCO (EF4): A Simple Mapping

link -> Entity Framework POCO (EF4): A Simple Mapping

The latest EF4 CTP released on November 12th includes updated support for POCO’s (Plain Ol’ CLR Objects). Although we could use POCO’s in the previous CTP, we still had to create an EDMX artifact to model our entities, thus leading to a bit of duplication.

In this post I want to take a look a simple mapping scenario, and how that looks using the new ‘Code Only’ API. By using the code only API I can have complete control over my entities, giving me the most flexibility in my mapping strategies, better testability and extensibility, and ultimately greater maintainability. No generated code. No XML files. Sweet ;)
