Ignore base class / interfaces completely in entity framework 5 code first

Question

I have the following entity class:

[System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema.Table("User")]
public class User: UserBase, IPersistCustom<Entity> { ... }

Depending on the type of hierarchy mapping you use, EF will generate either a descriptor column or split tables. Is there a way to have EF completely ignore the fact that this class inherits from something or implements an interface?

I don't mean just ignoring base class properties.

If you don't want or can't make base class abstract there is a better option — Vladislav Kostenko

If you mark your base class(es) as abstract and use table per concrete type approach this may work. Something like;

context.Entity<User>().Map(p =>
        {
            p.MapInheritedProperties();
            p.ToTable("Users");
        });

refer to this.
