Adding [DataMember] [DataContract] attributes in Entity Framework POCO Template

Question

I would like some help adding in a POCO .tt Entity Framework template Attributes to support WCF serialization and if its possible how to add namespace usings to each entity.

Answer 1

In EF6.1 you need to edit the model1.tt and add tag between UsingDirectives and EntityClassOpening:

<#=codeStringGenerator.UsingDirectives(inHeader: false)#>
//MY TAG:
[Serializable]
<#=codeStringGenerator.EntityClassOpening(entity)#>
