Public Function HasTableAnnotation (name As String, value As Object) As ConventionTypeConfiguration(Of T)

Parameters

name: String

The annotation name, which must be a valid C#/EDM identifier.

value: Object

The annotation value, which may be a string or some other type that can be serialized with an IMetadataAnnotationSerializer

Returns

ConventionTypeConfiguration<T>

The same configuration instance so that multiple calls can be chained.

Remarks

It will likely be necessary to register a IMetadataAnnotationSerializer if the type of the annotation value is anything other than a string. Calling this method will have no effect if the annotation with the given name has already been configured.
