I want to give users the possibility to dynamically add new columns at the runtime. I am using the Entity framework v1 …

I did manage to read as xml and then change ssdl , csdl and msl files and construct new workspace and new object context…
But the problem is when i dynamically add new columns in EF model the underlying object is not changed, of course.

How to get the data from model without having concrete entity ? Anonymous type or DBDataRecord would be just fine… Or even some new type created at runtime…

Any idea ?

    In v1, you would need to generate a new assembly. This would also require redistributing EdmGen. I don’t know if that’s legal.

    In EF v4, you could probably combine C# dynamic types with code-only modeling and come up with a pretty slick solution to your problem.
