EntityMappingConfiguration<TEntityType>.HasTableAnnotation Method (String, Object)
Sets an annotation in the model for the table to which this entity is mapped. The annotation value can later be used when processing the table such as when creating migrations.
Assembly: EntityFramework (in EntityFramework.dll)
public EntityMappingConfiguration<TEntityType> HasTableAnnotation( string name, object value )
Parameters
- name
-
Type:
System.String
The annotation name, which must be a valid C#/EDM identifier.
- value
-
Type:
System.Object
The annotation value, which may be a string or some other type that can be serialized with an IMetadataAnnotationSerializer
Return Value
Type: System.Data.Entity.ModelConfiguration.Configuration.EntityMappingConfiguration<TEntityType>The same configuration instance so that multiple calls can be chained.
It will likely be necessary to register a IMetadataAnnotationSerializer if the type of the annotation value is anything other than a string. Passing a null value clears any annotation with the given name on the column that had been previously set.
