Normally, when a database has default values on insert, those are the values used when you do an insert with NULL values on those columns.<br />

I think the &quot;auto generated value&quot; is for sequence numbers.

Hi experts, <br />
<br />
I access my database using LINQ. On some db fields I defined default values right on the database.<br />
Now I want linq to use those default values if no other value is defined.<br />
I found the property &quot;auto generated value&quot;. I thought thats the solution, but whenever I try to insert now I get an error message (see screenshot - sorry its in german)<br />
<br />
Can anyone help me?<br />

LINQ Insert with default values

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
