Entity Framework 6 code-first not creating all columns

Question

I'm creating a simple table using EF6 and code first. All the fields are created except for the CreateDate column. Why is that?

public class InspectionPoint
{
    public DateTime CreateDate { get; }
    public string Detail { get; set; }
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public bool IsActive { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Question { get; set; }
    public DateTime UpdateDate { get; set; }
}

The UpdateDate field is being created as expected but not the CreateDate. Why is that?

Answer 1

I guess it's because that field is read-only, since it only has a getter:

public class InspectionPoint
{
    // only has "get"ter - therefore it's readonly 
    public DateTime CreateDate { get; }      

    // Every other field has both "get" and "set" and can be set to new values
    public string Detail { get; set; }
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public bool IsActive { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Question { get; set; }
    public DateTime UpdateDate { get; set; }
}
