We currently use NHibernate. We are evaluating the Entity Framework.

We would like to use our existing classes without modification. Where
can I find information on mapping private member variables to the
database in the entity framework.

We are looking for non-invasive methods of hooking up entity framework
to our classes. We are not disposed to altering our classes to put
ORM-specific attributes on either methods or variables. And we don't
want to use methods because it generally requires both public getters
and setters. This breaks the security for the object model that we
have decided to use.

ps. If there is a better place to post this, please let me know, but
I didn't see discussion groups that say entity framework.
