Tue, 08 Apr 2008 05:17:16 GMT

EF does not support easy agile development or a nice disconnected usage of it's objects. This solution (including sample) demonstrates a client that is unaware of EF (yeah, think Silverlight!) and a server that is able to attach a changed graph and save it.

It does however offer a very easy way to build a loosely coupled application, driven by WF and could be used to build upon for your own solution.
