Entity Framework: How to set model as Serializable

Question

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
[Serializable]
public partial class user
{
    public int UserId { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Surname { get; set; }
    public string UserName { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public string Password { get; set; }
    public System.DateTime Creation { get; set; }
    public bool Status { get; set; }
    public int UserTypeId { get; set; }
}

As you can see in my code, my class setted as serializable. But after I update my .edmx file, this setting deleted. How can I keep Serializable after update edmx file?

Answer 1

As you can see your class is partial so you can add another class(file) to your project and use Serializable attribute there.

[Serializable]
public partial class user
{

}

Put this in another class with the same namespace and also see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wa80x488(v=vs.90).aspx for further info about partials.
