In this episode, Arthur and members of the EF Team will explore generated property values and how value generation interacts with keys in the model. We will look at fully client-side value generation, as well as how to use identity columns, database sequences, or a hi-lo pattern for server-side generation. In addition, we’ll investigate how generated key values impact EF Core change tracking by determining if an entity will go into the `Added` state or not. And finally, if we have time, we’ll look at special considerations for TPC mapping, and customizations such as setting before and after save behaviors, and sentinel values.
