Entity Framework Code First MaxLength and FixedLegth (char vs varchar)
With the fluent api you can use IsFixedLength():
//Set StudentName column size to 50 and change datatype to nchar //IsFixedLength() change datatype from nvarchar to nchar modelBuilder.Entity<Student>() .Property(p => p.StudentName) .HasMaxLength(50).IsFixedLength();With annotations, you can dictate the type:
[Column(TypeName = "char")][StringLength(2)]public string MyCharField { get; set; }
