Unfortunately I found out that LINQ ignores the default values when inserting rows. The work around is to change the Auto Generated Value property of each column in the DBML to True

This is fine and dandy for tables that only have a few of these columns, but i have a table that has 20+ that need to default.

Before I spend the time creating a stored procedure, will a stored procedure even respect/use the default values?

EDIT: LINQ ignores the default values when inserting rows
This means if I have 10 columns, and I only give values for the first 3 columns with my LINQ insert, the remaining 7 columns will have a value of null instead of the default values defined by the table

    Any SQL insert will respect the default values as long you don’t explicitly pass in NULLS for the column values.

    This will work fine in a stored procedure.
