EF4 CTP5 - HasColumnType not working

Question

I want to override the default nvarchar(4000) for one of my string columns to a text data type in SQL Express. I use this code.

modelBuilder.Entity<Accommodation>()
               .Property(p => p.Information)
               .HasColumnType("text");

But the column type remains as nvarchar?

Answer 1

Ahh I just figured it out, adding the fluent mapping was not sufficient to force the table to dropAndCreate itself again even though I had DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges set.

I had to force it to update the table manually.
