Im planning to use the Entities generated by the EF (POCO) in sending data to the client instead of creating DTOs? Is this a good practice? Basically, my EDMX file is on my DAL layer.
So the UI will have direct access on my DAL. Thanks.
Basically, I don’t think it’s a good idea to send DAL objects to your interface, so I would use DTOs. To minimize the effort doing so I would take a look at an DTO generator, to generate DTO code which lets you convert from DAL object to DTO and vice versa.
EDIT: Sorry, didn’t see you are using POCO. Have a look at this SO post
