Clean solution (project) structure with EF, Repositories, Entities?

Check out this write up on T4 Templates and the Entity Framework. You can write in custom attributes for entity properties generated via EF. I've done this several times, and after figuring out how to do it, it now saves a lot of time.

I've tried using partial classes before as you mention, but my EF-generated class ends up overwriting the other with the custom attributes. Perhaps I was doing something wrong, but in any case, I now prefer the T4 template solution because it seems cleaner to me - minimizing on number of classes within a project.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
