How to: Define POCO Entities

The Entity Framework enables you to use your own custom data classes. For more information, see Working with POCO Entities. This topic defines a set of POCO types that are implicitly mapped, by having the same type and property names, to the data model that is defined in How to: Customize Modeling and Mapping Files to Work with Custom Objects. This model is based on the Contact, SalesOrderHeader, and SalesOrderDetail tables in the AdventureWorks database. For information on how to define a custom object context class, see How to: Define a Custom Object Context.

Example

This example defines the Contact, Order, LineItem, and OrderInfo custom data classes. These classes have been defined to support proxy object creation. For more information, see Requirements for Creating POCO Proxies.
