I need to add [Serializable] to certain types to use "out of process" session persistence. Presently I have to edit the generated code which is incorrect since it will get overwritten on the next POCO generation. In addition we only put the EDML into source control as we consider this to be the source and not the generated C# POCOs.

Is there a way to add [Serializable] in the relevant types in Entity Developer such that [Serializable] is included in the generated C# Class Definition code?

I have looked at the "Attributes" dialog, but this seems focussed on "Data Annotations".

Thanks.

1. Please specify the names of templates (e.g.: POCO Entity, DbContext, etc) you are using in your *.edml model. We will investigate the possibility of implementing the Generate Serializable Attribute property of a template.

2. You can set any custom attribute in your classes/class properties:
a) navigate to Model > Settings > Attributes > select the assembly with the needed attributes and make sure that the required attributes are checked in the window below, press OK
b) select the needed attribute in the Attributes collection of a particular class / class property
