I have POCO’s in a separate project and now I need Self Tracking Entities. Does anyone know if I need to generate new POCO’s that are self tracking and they will replace my current POCO’s? Or, do I setup self tracking entities in addition to my current POCO’s?
Thanks!
You do not need both. STE is essentially POCO with additional capability for change tracking when disconnected from the ObjectContext. I would suggest that you stick with STE if you have n-tier scenario. For non N-Tier scenario meaning when you are working with your entities on the server side, you can use it like a poco object and let ObjectContext manage change tracking for you.
