title: EF code first 4.1 xml XElement
body: <p>How do I go about mapping an xml table column to an XElement property in a POCO object.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to map it using a complex type, or supply the EF framework with a conversion function of some kind so that I can use XElement as the property type and use it as xml in the database.</p>
  
  <p>I am hoping that the fluent api has some way of mapping this, but my searching has yielded no results, and it appears that the question is not as common as I would have thought.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
