Remarks
The IdeaBlade DevForce Object Mapping Tool automatically generates EntityProperties for your business objects: a DataEntityProperty is generated for all simple properties, and a NavigationEntityProperty is generated for all relational properties.
The auto-generated EntityProperties are statically defined within each Entity class and are constructed when the Entity types are loaded, which usually occurs when the assembly is loaded and the EntityRelations.Initialize method is called by DevForce.
