Linq-to-SQL ignores SQL Server default value

Question

When using Linq-to-SQL, adding a column to an existing table, and setting a default value on that new column, it seems that Linq to SQL ignores the default value. Has anyon

Answer 1

I've seen this. What you can do is go into the l2sql designer, view properties for the table column that has a default value. There is a property "Auto generated value", set that to true.

This same value is set to true automatically for the identity column automatically, as in that case SQL Server is generating your row IDs.
