    My underlying table has nvarchar fields with NOT NULL constraints.

    When I try to insert an empty string, a ASP.NET validator shows up -> The yyy field is required.

     Is there way to enter an empty string?

    Or do I need to change the generated code?

    Thanks

    Eric

    Hi Eric, 

    try using a DisplayFormatAttribute with ConvertEmptyStringToNull=false on your not null char fields.
