Hi! I wish to dynamically properties to some of my persistent objects (Right now I'm working with the model approach).
However, I would rather prefer not to change the schema. The reason is simple: I'm developing a web application and each customer could want to add different properties to different objects.
I was wondering which could be the best approach to this requirement with Data Access. Mapping a to a dictionary maybe? Or a dynamic (expando) object? Don't even know if that's supported.
Thanks!!

Hi Gonzalo,

Telerik Data Access supports the scenario you need implement. It does so though its Artificial Types API. This API is based on the code-only mapping approach, and allows you to create, modify, query and delete types during the application's runtime. You can see it in action in the Consuming Types Defined During Runtime sample in our Samples Kit. The scenario demonstrated in the sample is very close to the result you need to achieve.

I hope this helps. If you need further information, do not hesitate to get back to us.
