The InsertFunction attribute is used to define a database function that is called when inserting the object into the database. This function might be used to store the creation date of an object to database. Have a look at the following example.

        /// <summary>

        /// Gets or sets the creation.

        /// </summary>

        /// <value>The creation.</value>

        [InsertFunction("GETDATE()")]

        public DateTime Creation

        {

            get { return creation; }

            set { creation = value; }

        }

The created SQL looks like:

INSERT INTO [DATABASEFUNCTION] ( [CREATION], [ID]) VALUES ( GETDATE(), ‘12fca955-12ba-4486-bf89-4bf92d6db13d’);
