    <p>I'm basically re-asking <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2240038/add-custom-abstract-base-class-between-entityobject-and-generated-classes-in-ent">this question</a> as the only and accepted answer is not an answer to the question.</p> <p>Is it possible to tell EF to use a class that subclasses EntityObject, like the one below, as the base class of generated entity classes?</p> <pre><code>public abstract class CustomEntityObject : EntityObject { &lt;additional functionality&gt; } </code></pre> <p>The reason I'm asking is I want to stop adding interfaces and implementing them on all entity types in separate partial class files. By sub-classing EntityObject I could implement the additional functionality once only.</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong></p> <p>EF implicitly uses a .tt file to generate entity classes. By implicitly I mean you don't see the .tt file in your project. The solution is to add the template explictly (right-click on the .edmx designer and click "Add Code Generation Item...", then add "ADO.NET EntityObject Generator"). You then change a single value in the .tt:</p> <pre><code>string BaseTypeName(EntityType entity, CodeGenerationTools code) { return entity.BaseType == null ? "EntityObject" : MultiSchemaEscape((StructuralType)entity.BaseType, code); } </code></pre> <p>changes to:</p> <pre><code>string BaseTypeName(EntityType entity, CodeGenerationTools code) { return entity.BaseType == null ? "CustomEntityObject" : MultiSchemaEscape((StructuralType)entity.BaseType, code); } </code></pre>

    1. COI'm pretty sure, that this would work ok, haven't tried though. Here's a read about using custom class as base: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb738631(v=vs.90).aspx

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
