Will FixupCollections be included into .net 4.0 System.Collections namespace ?

For example in the model we’ve been using to date when you set a Comment's Author to a particular person the FixupCollection class insures sure that the Person's Comments collection contains the Comment too.

well my english is not weak by any stretch of imagination but I am having hard time to diggest this! :)

back to reading ;)

another question, if I get it right...

the edmx file contains the domain model "picture", so where can I specify how my DB Schema will look like?

The only thing I can see is the generated *.sql file but once generated it is already to late, so how to alter EF mapping behaviours aka conventions?

I've read code only approach where this thing is "solved" but it lacks designer and is full of limitation, please enlighten EF newbie :)

thanks

Am I missing something, but the POCO's generated are not serializable for use with WCF, i.e. virtuals and also the FixupCollection?

What exactly did the generator generate for your "POCO" object?

Just wondering why the need for a generator for POCO objects.

How would this work if the Person object had a list of Orders?

In the POCOWalkthru-Final project, the BloggingContainer classe's constructors all set

ContextOptions.DeferredLoadingEnabled = true;

ObjectContextOptions class in .NET 4 doesn't have a DeferredLoadingEnabled property. It has a LazyLoadingEnabled property. Same thing, right???

Found my answer here:

http://thedatafarm.com/blog/data-access/ef4-lazy-loading-on-by-default-but-what-about-pre-beta-2-models/

Renaming DeferredLoadingEnabled to LazyLoadingEnabled is a breaking change from Beta 1 to Beta 2.

I've got CTP2 release of EF 4 which hasnt got this T4 template included.

Where can I get the template from CTP 1 ? I can generate POCOs and adapt them as necessary.
