Is it possible to use custom database fields with LLBLGen or will this be possible in the near future. From what I understood reading this forum it's not yet supported out-of-the-box but there are some ways to implement this yourself?
I'll explain in details what exactly that we are planning to do: We're building a product (not a project) to be sold as a complete package. Our product should be very flexible and customers should have the possibility to add new columns to certain tables which should then also be visible/usable in their application (layer) without re-generating any code. Re-generating code is not an option here since it would be to complex for the customers, would require that the customer has licenses for LLBLGen and would mean that the customer needs to have the source code from our product. The only thing the customer may change is the database (only extending) and modifying the presentation layer (to show the extra fields).
Is there anyone who has implemented such a solution and can you provide me with high level details on how to do this (like which components/assemblies to fine-tune)? We need to be sure that this is possible with LLBLGen before we start implementing it in our product.
We don't realy have restrictions on the way how to do it (allow a table to be extended or create 1 table to extend any other tabel or to create 1 extend-table for each existing table). The only restriction that we have is that we don't want to have 1 extra column per table in which we insert XML).
Thanks in advance,
Dirk.
