Hello
Just curious. Suppose I have an assembly A which has all the entities and mappings using fluent api. this assembly needs enhancing, I get it. but what happens to the assembly which is using assembly A. does it need enhancing too?
thanks
UPDATE
________________
Is fluent mapping api the only way to work with code only approach? I mean I already have business objects, and I want to make them persistent, fluent api is the only solution? or is it possible to decorate the objects with attributes or map it through xml like nhibernate does?

You are correct only the project containing the entities and the mapping should be enhanced. I would like to mention that a lot of people are making the mistake of moving the class deriving from FluentMetadataSource to a different project which is incorrect as this class is used during enhancement.
The rule is that you need both all entities and the metadata source in the project you mapping is, this means that you can implement your context class in another project. Be sure to check out our documentation on the matter if you haven't already.
At the moment this is the only way to work with code only.
