EF Code First prevent property mapping with Fluent API

Question

I have a class Product and a complex type AddressDetails

public class Product
{
    public Guid Id { get; set; }

    public Addres         


        

Answer 1

Unfortunately the accepted answer doesn't work, not at least with EF6 and especially if the child class is not an entity.

I haven't found any way to do this via fluent API. The only way it works is via data annotations:

public class AddressDetails
{
    public string City { get; set; }

    [NotMapped]
    public string Country { get; set; }
    // other properties
}

Note: If you have a situation where Country should be excluded only when it is part of certain other entity, then you're out of luck with this approach.
