I want my string class field to generate a char(32) column in the database. I am using Entity Framework 6.1 code first.

[MinLength(32), MaxLength(32)]
public string Code { get; set; }

This code generates a nvarchar(32) in the database.

If I add unicode: false in the DbMigration class (I didn't find an annotation attribute for this), it generates a varchar(32).

Code = c.String(maxLength: 32, unicode: false)

If there a way to generate a char(32) column associated to my string?

How didn't I find that question? I'll try both suggested answers, I would prefer the annotations. – Mart Apr 09 '14 at 16:43

`[StringLength(32), Column(TypeName = "char")]` generated the expected column type. – Mart Apr 09 '14 at 16:55
