EF5.x Adding Custom Properties

Question

I am using EF5.x Code First

namespace DAO.Models { public partial class Person { public int UserId { get; set; } } }

i created another partial class to add custom properties.

namespace DAO.Models { public partial class Person { public string customName { get; set; } } }

I have a Mapping that has been generated for my by EF 5.x power tools

 public PersonMap() { // Primary Key this.HasKey(t => new { t.PersonId }); // Table & Column Mappings this.ToTable("Person", "TableX"); this.Property(t => t.PersonId).HasColumnName("PersonId"); }

when i try to add a new person to db

 XContext db = new XContext(); Person per= new Person(); db.Persons.Add(per);

I get unknown column customName in Field List error

You can use the [NotMapped] annotation/attribute

[NotMapped] public string customName { get; set; }
