Buka file .edmx dengan editor XML dan cari bagian yang dimulai dengan baris berikut:
<!-- SSDL content -->
Di bawah ini harus ada tag EntityType dan di dalamnya ada definisi tabel database. Pastikan properti untuk kolom ID Anda memiliki StoreGeneratedPattern="Identity" di dalamnya.
Di bawah bagian SSDL ini adalah bagian CSDL yang terlihat serupa, tetapi mendefinisikan objek C# yang mewakili entitas ini. Perancang visual tampaknya hanya mengisi StoreGeneratedPatterin di bagian ini, tetapi tidak mengisi bagian SSDL.
EDIT DENGAN SAMPEL
Berikut adalah contoh file EDMX untuk entitas Karyawan, dengan properti ID, FirstName, dan LastName. ID adalah bidang yang ingin Anda buat secara otomatis oleh database. Perhatikan bahwa ada dua tempat berbeda yang memerlukan StoreGeneratedPattern.
