Question

Was Pluggable conventions removed from the EF 5 release, i saw it in the pre releases? Looking for a way to force ef code use datetime2 by convention, so don’t need to explicit map each column of every entity.

Answer 1

Ended up create a derived class of EntityTypeConfiguration.

public class CustomEntityTypeConfiguration<T> : EntityTypeConfiguration<T> where T : EntityBase
{
    public TEntityTypeConfiguration()
    {
        this.Property(t => t.CreatedDate).HasColumnType("datetime2");
    }
}

Then each of the entity configurations just inherit from this instead of EntityTypeConfiguration.
