title: POCO Inheritance in Entity framework
body: <p>I have 2 projects, one that deal with the Data Access and it uses entity framework and POCO objects to do it. and the second project reference that DAL Project to access the database.</p>
  
  <p>In my second project i need to inherit from a POCO class and provide some default values for some properties and other stuff, at the end i want to add this class or "its base class" to the object context of the entity framework.</p>
  
  <p>But everytime i do i get an exception that says, "Mapping and metadata information could not be found for EntityType 'MyInheritedClass'"</p>
  
  <p>Is there anyway to work around this without using partial class, or editing the project that has the Data Access Layer.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
