How can custom type converters be registered automatically in C# Entity Framework 6?

edit

Custom type converters can be registered automatically in C# Entity Framework 6 by using the DbConfiguration class.

Step 1: Create a class that inherits from DbConfiguration.

public class MyDbConfiguration : DbConfiguration { public MyDbConfiguration() { SetDefaultHistoryContext(connection => new HistoryContext(connection));

  SetProviderServices("System.Data.SqlClient", 
    SqlProviderServices.Instance); 

  SetDatabaseInitializer(new MyDbContextInitializer()); 

  AddInterceptor(new MyCommandInterceptor()); 

  SetSpatialServicesProvider(SqlSpatialServices.
    Instance); 

  AddDefaultResolver(new MyDefaultResolver());

} }

Step 2: Set the DbConfigurationType attribute on your context.

[DbConfigurationType(typeof(MyDbConfiguration))] public class MyDbContext : DbContext { // DbContext code here }

Step 3: Add the following line to your application's initialization method.

DbConfiguration.SetConfiguration(new MyDbConfiguration());

Now, whenever a context is created that uses the MyDbContext class, it will automatically use the MyDbConfiguration class and register the custom type converters.
