title: ADO.NET Entity Framework and identity columns
body: <p>Is the Entity Framework aware of identity columns? </p>
  
  <p>I am using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and have several tables where the primary key is an identity column. when I use these tables to create an entity model and use the model in conjunction with an entity datasource bond to a formview in order to create a new entity I am asked to enter a value for the identity column. Is there a way to make the framework not ask for values for identity columns?</p>
