My talk next week is a subset of the one I did in Denver. If you are interested in EF talks then make sure to catch David Yack's talk on the subject as well.

Thanks for the response, Ben.

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.

Looking forward to your SSWUG conference talk this week. Will it be much different than the Denver User Group talk?

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,

Thanks for sharing all of this info regarding EF.

I do have a question for you. 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.

Are there any patterns/techniques for extending EF to handle this?

Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
