POCO Support in Entity Infrastructure

Question

While the application I'm currently developing is written in .net 4.0 against beta, I basically ignored POCO support in the Entity Framework because I don't need it. However, I am beginning to realize that POCO support would be useful in my project. However, a Google search at POCO in EF yields a lot of results saying that it will “come in the future” and “sneak up”.

Now with the .net 4.0 card in the Go Live license, I know that POCO support should be pretty much implemented. Can someone point me to a good resource so that my feet are wet from how it all works?

Answer 1

Julia Lerman has several blog posts on EF 4 POCO.

Answer 2

Another source of information (besides Julia Lerman's blog) is the ADO.NET team blog, for example:
