Entity annotation attributes do not work

Question

Here is my entity:

[Table( Name = "PdfMeta" )]
public class Meta
{
    [Key()]
    public int Id { get; set; }

    [Column(Name = "TotalPages")]
    public int TotalPages { get; set; }

    [Column(Name = "PdfPath")]
    public string PdfUri { get; set; }

    [Column(Name = "ImagePath")]
    public string ImageUri { get; set; }

    [Column(Name = "SplittedPdfPath")]
    public string SplittedFolderUri { get; set; }

}

Here is code from context:

      public DbSet<Meta> PdfMeta { get; set; }

Why new table (Metas) has created with ImageUri, PdfUri ... columns? I know that this was done by convention but I have explisitly specifyed table and columns.

Answer 1

Name property of ColumnAttribute has only getter defined. Pass column name in constructor instead:

[Table("PdfMeta")]
public class Meta
{
    [Key]
    public int Id { get; set; }

    [Column("TotalPages")]
    public int TotalPages { get; set; }

    [Column("PdfPath")]
    public string PdfUri { get; set; }

    [Column("ImagePath")]
    public string ImageUri { get; set; }

    [Column("SplittedPdfPath")]
    public string SplittedFolderUri { get; set; }
}

BTW ColumnAttribute defined in EntityFramework.dll. Looks like you have referenced ColumnAttribute from System.Data.Linq.dll
