I have problems with saving derived type (TPT) with Entity Framework to database.

Let's say I have base entity Animal and derived type Dog.

I want to save Dog entity.

I thought that I could do it like contex.AddToDogs(), but contex contain only base entity - Animal. So I can only save Animal object - contex.AddToAnimals().

I have also tried with contex.AddObject("Animals", dogInstance), but I get the following error: The member with identity 'NavigationProperty' does not exist in the metadata collection.

But I have add EntityReference to the "NavigationProperty".

So how to save derived type in EF?
