在实体框架中创建方法

Question

Why does entity framework generate Create method for entities that takes parameter for the column that is defined as an identity in database? It makes Create method totally useless as it cannot be used to create entity or am I missing something?

Answer 1

You should set StoreGeneratedPattern as Identity on the property tab of your entity primary key property.
