在Entity Framework 3.5中自定义实体

Question

How can i extend the entity class in EF 3.5 for example below. As i know, it work on EF 4 and above, but not in EF 3.5.

partial class car
{
    public car(string carName)
    {
        this.name = carName;
        /* does not contain a definition for 'name' and no 
         * extension method 'name' accepting a first argument
         * of type 'xxx.car' could be found (are you missing 
         * a using directive or an assembly reference?) 
         */
    }
}

Answer 1

1. Make sure both classes are public.
2. Make sure the Property has a public setter.
3. Make sure they are in the same namespace.
