Entity Framework 6 Code First Trigger

Check out my library EntityFramework.Triggers. It works at the Entity Framework layer, so the trigger events won't fire if someone modifies the database directly. The NuGet link is https://www.nuget.org/packages/EntityFramework.Triggers/


Entity Framework has no support for triggers, although you can certainly manually execute a statement that would create a trigger, but you would need to do this after the table was created (if using migrations).

You can use the technique specified by Ladislav in EF 4.1 code-first adding a trigger to a table

Take note of his warning, however, EF will not be aware of any changes made in the trigger. If your intent is merely to ensure that 2 columns in a table are not null, you'd be better served with a constraint (constraints are also not supported by EF, but you can add them manually).
