Entity Framework : map multiple classes to one table
<p>I think this is possible in nhiberate, but my question is about Entity Framework.</p>

<p>In my database model - which I cannot modify - I have redundant columns that I would like to store in different classes.</p>

<p>Example :</p>

<pre><code>public class DateParams
{
    public DateTime CreationDate { get; set; }
    public DateTime ModificationDate { get; set; }

    // some methods
}

public class Localization
{
    public String EnglishLabel { get; set; }
    public String FrenchLabel { get; set; }

    // some methods
}
</code></pre>

<p>And then I would use them in some of my models :</p>

<pre><code>public class Account // Localization &amp;&amp; DateParams 
{
    public int ID { get; set;  }
    public String Name { get; set; }

    public Localization Localization { get; set; }
    public DateParams DateParams { get; set; }
}

public class Lead // DateParams only
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public String Name { get; set; }

    public DateParams DateParams { get; set; }
}
</code></pre>

<p>What I would like to achieve is having something like this </p>

<pre><code>public class LocalizationMap : EntityTypeConfiguration&lt;Localization&gt;
{
   public LocalizationMap()
   { 
        Property(e =&gt; e.EnglishLabel).HasColumnName("en");
        Property(e =&gt; e.FrenchLabel).HasColumnName("fr");
   }
}

public class AccountMap : EntityTypeConfiguration&lt;Account&gt;
{
    public AccountMap()
    {            
        HasKey(x =&gt; x.ID);
        Property(e =&gt; e.Name).HasColumnName("Name");

        HasSubMapping(new LocalizationMap());
        HasSubMapping(new DateParamsMap());

        ToTable("Account");
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>I could use inheritance to solve this, but C# does not allow multiple inheritance.</p>
