Extending Generated Entities

[David]

I have created a domain model using OpenAccess and it has generated the appropriate files. I want to add behaviour to my entities so I have generated a partial class for this. I am using WCF RIA Services but when I inspect the generated code for the client side of the RIA Services my methods implemented in the new partial class don't exist. What am I doing wrong?

Replying to my own thread as I could not find a way to remove it now that I seem to have found the answer.

After some research (Google) it appears that the Partial class file must be renamed *.shared.cs to enable the partial class to be used client-side.

If this is incorrect or I'm missing something please let me know.

Hello David,

 Absolutely, this is the way to add custom code in order to extend classes that are to be used with WCF RIA services . If you have any additional issues/questions, please do not hesitate to contact us back.

Kind regards,

Hello David,

I believe you are talking about adding Validations for the generated classes, right ?
Because I can extend the generated classes by OA and add my custom logic then use them easily from the client side ..!!

Can you please confirm this ...

The answer from Telerik Admin was the confirmation I was after. Thanks to all.
