Subject: StoreGeneratedPattern = Computed in EDMX

Hello,

I use database first approach and I'm writing a test method to assert if a specific property has StoreGeneratedPattern set as Computed in my EDMX.
In the test method I have a DataEntityProperty in my hand and I realize that IsAutoIncrementing property is true when StoreGeneratedPattern = Computed, but IsAutoIncrementing is also true when StoreGeneratedPattern = Identity.

How can I check if the StoreGeneratedPattern is really Computed (not Identity) trough a DataEntityProperty object?

Regards.

We don't currently capture this in the DataEntityProperty.  We should be setting IsAutoIncrementing only for Identity properties, so if we're setting it for both Identity and Computed that sounds like a bug.   We can look at fixing this and making both Identity and Computed available on the DataEntityProperty, but for now I'm not sure what you can do as a workaround other than customizing code gen to grab the values from the EDMX.

Ok, if possible you can include Computed on DataEntityProperty and correct the bug. It will help a lot.

Thanks.
