POCO not transforming into a POCO proxy.

A POCO (Plain Old CLR Object) must be transformed into a POCO proxy
[MyNamespace.MyClass ->{System.Data.Entity.DynamicProxies.MyClass_0A943C2FC37D33304CEB497A9210C754E3F553B50315F8E6F0F7A6FAF43777F2}]{.Apple-style-span style=”font-size: x-small;”})
in order for features like lazy loading and change tracking to work.

MSDN has a great article that explains how to prepare a POCO to be transformed into a proxy. If you find that an object retrieved or attached to the context does not show itself in the DynamicProxies namespace (eg. MyNamespace.MyClass instead of ...DynamicProxies.MyClass), then you probably don't have a compliant class. You may have noticed this already when hovering your mouse cursor over an instance and seeing the runtime information on it.

The distilled points are that your POCO must:

• be public, not abstract and not sealed;
• have a public or protected parameterless constructor;
• have public overridable properties that are read/write if they are navigation properties;
• and implement ICollection if they are a one-to-many navigation property.
