Using Entity Framework entities as business objects?

Question

I\'m using Entity Framework O/R mapper from Microsoft and using entity classes (generated classes that are mapped to DB objects) as a business objects. Is this OK? Please s

Answer 1

Can't you just re-attach the objects if they lose their original object context? You'd need to handle concurrency-issues yourself though.

I wouldn't recommend using EF objects as DataContract objects for WCF, as you'd tie very strongly your implementation of entity objects to web service clients, change will be hard to do in the future, harder the more clients you plan on having.
