I'm thinking of building a ecommerce application with an extensible data model using NHibernate and Fluent NHibernate. By having an extensible data model, I have the ability to define a Product entity, and allow a user in the application to extend it with new fields/properties with different data types including custom data types.
Example: Product can have an addition fields like: Size - int Color - string Price - decimal Collection of ColoredImage - name, image (e.g. "Red", red.jpg (binary file))
An additional requirement is to be able to filter the products by these additional/extended fields. How should I implement this?
Thanks in advance.
