I initial went down the adpater route based on my reading in the version 2 documentation.

One line in particular that bothered me in the SelfServicing section:

When to use SelfServicing ... - When you don't need to extend the framework ...

Technically my framework only will target SQL 2005 (there will be some minor interaction with Oracle but that can be something custom down the road), I want lazy loading as a default but I may want to tweak it in areas, I want databinding and persistence, I trust my developers to save/load etc. So the only thing was "framework extension" which is something I want but what now that I think about it; "what does framework extension" mean in the LLBLGen sense?

With SelfServicing can I still use partial classes, etc? In what ways can I not extend the "framework" by using SelfServicing?

Thanks, -Luke

Hello LukeO,

It's possible to use partial classes. I use selfservicing too and most of my entities are extended, I mean they have custom validators, they implement custom interfaces and have a lot of additional properties and methods in their bodies...

Hope this helps.

Yeah SelfServicing is complete extensible. For more info please read LLBLGenPro Help - Using generated code - Adding your own code to the generated classes.
