<EntityContainerName>mdmsEntities</EntityContainerName>
<EntityKeyValues>

<Key>AdrNr</Key>

</EntityKeyValues>
</EntityKey>
<data1>
</data1>
<data2>
</data2>
...
</cust>
</custs>


Thanks for help

Solutions:

1. With the EntityObject template, enable also the Data Transfer Objects template to convert entities into DTO-objects. Then, serialize DTO-objects.

2. Use the DbContext template instead of a default EntityObject template not to generate a base EntityObject class. This will avoid the problem with serialization.

Thank you very much!

I wonder where the Information for the EntityKey came from.
I couldn't find it in the Entity-Object-Class. Is it rendered at Serialize-Runtime?

regards

The DataMember attribute is defined for EntityKey by Microsoft: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet ... mework-4.8.
