Set default value in EF designer datetime

Question

Trying to set the default value of a datetime field to take current time. In SQL's field designer i'd use getdate(). What should i use in Entity Framework's designer?

thx

Answer 1

Set 'StoredGeneratedPattern' to Computed against the field in the EDMX.

You still need the default value in SQL Server though, the above setting will ensure EF honour's that.
