I know in a previous post else where, it was said that the current release of DEF does not support Xml Serialization of its objects, but is this planned for the final release?  Also, I have been able to do injected types for my entities, but will I be able to do injected types for complex objects?

Thanks,

Dan

The root cause of the problem is that the Object Mapper expects a “MaxLength” attribute on each property of Type=”String” in the CSDL section of the edmx file.  We have worked around the problem by adding “MaxLength=”Max” to all “String” properties in the CSDL section of the file that did not adhere to this rule. This workaroround will be replaced by a real fix in the next maintenance release of the product. If the  “MaxLength” attribute does not exist. We will create an attribute for it.

Support for XML serialization is an open high priority feature request for DEF, but I can't make any promises for when it will be implemented.   Since we've had several customer requests for this feature it will hopefully make the first release.

Lack of injection support for complex types was an oversight on our part, but it's a good idea and I will open a feature request for it.  Thanks.
