title: I have a POCO, can I get a proxy from the DbContext?
body: <p>I have a model that I get from a POST request. Since my view defines its POCO type, the object created from the submitted data is also a POCO. Being a POCO, it doesn't have various virtual properties overridden. Therefore, those virtual properties return null. This, in turn, means that I have to make separate queries based on the foreign keys to navigate through its properties (if I want to do anything more complex than just saving it).</p>
  
  <p><strong>Can I, given the POCO of my model, get the proxy</strong> that has all the overridden functionality?</p>
  
  <p>(I had assumed that this is what <code>db.Entry().Entity</code> was for, but it still returns me the POCO object, not the proxy. I'm inspecting the runtime type of the object by mouse-over during breakpoint pauses.)</p>
