Can Entity Framework be used for the purpose of entity/schema definition at application runtime?
- by Kabeer
Hello. Can 'Entity Framework' be used for the purpose of entity definition at application runtime?
Ok, to make it simple, here is what I want to achieve:
My application is a product. I should be able to define entities at runtime on the basis of inputs gathered from an 'authoring' user (in effect this means 'model first' approach).
These entities are of course persistable. Further, after having defined the entities and their relationships, I should be able to make complex queries across them for many reasons, including reports.
Is the above possible and how? So far what I have realized is that there is a dependency on Visual Studio.
