Very new to POCO, find some google links but found many different stories. Some connected with Entity framework, lazy loading etc. Some says its a pure .det class. Atleast

Answer 1

POCOs mean you do not have to inherit from some framework defined base class in order to implement functionality. Basically you are free to design your class hierarchy.

You can add your own methods be it validation or some business logic.

A counter example would be to inherit from EntityObject class for entities in Entity Framework.
