What is the best way to add attributes to auto-generated entities (using VS2010 and EF4)
- by Dani
ASP.NET MVC2 has strong support for using attributes on entities (validation, and extending Html helper class and more).
If I generated my Model from the Database using VS2010 EF4 Entity Data Model (edmx and it's cs class), And I want to add attributes
on some of the entities. what would be the best practice ? how should I cope with updating the model (adding more fields / tables to the database and merging them into the edmx) - will it keep my attributes or generate a new cs file erasing everything ?
