If you are interested in EF talks then make sure to catch David Yack's talk on the subject as well.Ben Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743195720761239141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34649829.post-87122429173803706522009-07-13T13:38:10.207-07:002009-07-13T13:38:10.207-07:00Thanks for the response, Ben.
Research has been ...Thanks for the response, Ben. <br /><br />Research has been pointing me towards Reflection in .NET. More so been pointing to new concepts to me like AOP, and languages like Ruby and Python. But I was hoping EF (4) or a third-party product might have tackled this challenge already.<br /><br />Looking forward to your SSWUG conference talk this week. Will it be much different than the Denver User Group talk?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34649829.post-22953014993130467392009-07-07T13:05:32.687-07:002009-07-07T13:05:32.687-07:00Hey Shadow, I don't think that EF provides an...Hey Shadow, I don't think that EF provides an easy to add properties dynamically at run time. I did come across this (http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=396996) that uses some peices of Reflection to do it. Doesn't look the easiest, but it also doesn't look too bad. Hope this helps.Ben Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743195720761239141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34649829.post-4348011565173974922009-07-07T09:32:07.849-07:002009-07-07T09:32:07.849-07:00Ben,

Have a business requirement to allow adding attributes/properties to entities at runtime. I will know the entities and some basic attributes of those entities at design time. But, I may need to create/utilize new ones at run time.<br /><br />Are there any patterns/techniques for extending EF to handle this?<br /><br />Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.<br /><br />My question is similar to this post:<br />http://stackoverflow.com/questions/476816/entity-framework-add-properties-entities-during-runtim<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Similiar to this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/476816/entity-framework-add-properties-entities-during-runtimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
