Change Entity Framework generated model classes

Question

I am currently confusing myself or doing something wrong, could someone please help me to better understand this?

I am creating an application using ASP.Net MVC 5 and using Entity Framework, so what I have done I created the database tables and updated the Entity Framework from the database, so it creates a nice diagram for me and so, also it creates Model classes for me, which is great. However right at the top of the Model class I get the following comment:

and I have some get and set methods that have been generated by the database, however for the following attributes I want to add [Required] at the top but it always get overwritten, any suggestions?

Answer 1

I should have really looked at this first http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/148486/Adding-Metadata-to-Entities-in-The-Data-Model

It suggests that I create another model class with metadata in it, which is okay, not massive overwork, so thats cool

Many thanks
