IncludeMetadataConvention Class

Definition

Namespace:

System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure

Assembly:

EntityFramework.dll

Caution

The IncludeMetadataConvention is no longer used. EdmMetadata is not included in the model. <see cref="EdmModelDiffer" /> is now used to detect changes in the model.

This DbModelBuilder convention causes DbModelBuilder to include metadata about the model when it builds the model. When DbContext creates a model by convention it will add this convention to the list of those used by the DbModelBuilder. This will then result in model metadata being written to the database if the DbContext is used to create the database. This can then be used as a quick check to see if the model has changed since the last time it was used against the database. This convention can be removed from the DbModelBuilder conventions by overriding the OnModelCreating method on a derived DbContext class.
