Entity Framework - default values doesn't set in sql server table

Question

SQL server 2005 database table has a column \'createdon\' for which default value set to getdate(). I am trying to add a record using entity framework. \'createdon\' column

Answer 1

I've got around this issue by telling EF that the column is 'computed', and should therefore be left alone for inserts.

If you look in the configuration for the generated entity

       namespace Data.Context
        {
            // Table
            internal partial class MyTableConfiguration : EntityTypeConfiguration
            {
                public MyTableConfiguration(string schema = "dbo")
                {    
                    ToTable(schema + ".MyTable");
                    HasKey(x => x.Id);

                    Property(x => x.ColumnName).HasColumnName("ColumnName").IsOptional().HasDatabaseGeneratedOption(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Computed);
                    ....
