Question

I am using Active Record and decorate my classes with attributes.

I have a primary key and the attribute is:

[PrimaryKey(PrimaryKeyType.Native, Column = "ID")]

Then I auto generate the table for SQL Server 2008 based on the C# class.

The result is then:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MyTable](
    [ID] [int] NOT NULL,

….

But what I want is:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MyTable](
    [ID] [int] NOT NULL IDENTITY,

As you can see, the IDENTITY keyword is missing from my generated T-SQL.

What attribute should I use to be able to make my primary key IDENTITY?

Thanks!

I’m assuming that you are using The Castle Project Active Records. So, you need PrimaryKeyType.Identity attribute.
Code:

[PrimaryKey(PrimaryKeyType.Identity, Column = "ID")]
