I’m using Entity Framework 4.2 in code-only mode. I’m letting it autogenerate my database

  • 0

I’m using Entity Framework 4.2 in code-only “mode”. I’m letting it autogenerate my database from the model.

However, it’s adding spaces to my table and column names based on title-casing – e.g. a CustomerOrder class is mapped to a [Customer Orders] table and a ProductNumber property is mapped to a [Product Number] field.

Is there any way of preventing this from happening – short of configuring every table and property name via the Fluent API (which I know how to do)?

Is this a new 4.2 thing?

    You can override the OnModelCreating of your DataContext and change the conventions used by entity framework… there may be a convention of adding spaces before upper-case letters. Remove the convention and you are done.

    The conventions are inside the modelBuilder object passed as argument to that method.
    It has a Conventions property that you can inspect, and see if the convention exists there.
