Comments on: Entity Framework 4 – “Almost” POCO http://rogeralsing.com/2009/05/29/entity-framework-4-almost-poco/ Sat, 28 Jan 2012 14:35:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Roger Alsing http://rogeralsing.com/2009/05/29/entity-framework-4-almost-poco/#comment-1351 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 08:46:56 +0000 http://rogeralsing.com/?p=641#comment-1351 @Nikola, yes i have seen it and think it is a _horrible_ approach.

This is by no means at all POCO, and nor does it support linq queries against the enum property.

The entire idea behind POCO is to let you design your model w/o caring about persistence concerns.

Since this forces you to design a certain way, this kills the value of POCO.

As for now I think that using constants in a static class is the best replacement for enums in EF4 since this supports Linq queries and will be very easy to port once we get real enum support.
