Entity Framework 4.1 code first mapping to already existing database table

Anonymous User500628-Sep-2013
I am using Entity Framework 4.1 code first to connect to an already existing database. The table that I am using first is called Bank. I also have a Bank class as my domain model. This is how I mapped my class and table:


public class HbfContext : DbContext 
{
     public DbSet<Bank> Banks { get; set; }
     protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
     {
          modelBuilder.Entity<Bank>().ToTable("Bank");
     }
}


My Bank table:

BankID INT
BankName VARCHAR(50)


My Bank class looks like this:

public class Bank 
{
     public int Id { get; set; }
     public string Name { get; set; }
     public bool IsActive { get; set; }
}

I am having issues when I want to return all the banks. The SQL statement returned from:

return db.Banks 
     .OrderBy(x => x.Name);

is:

SELECT 
     [Extent1].[Id] AS [Id],
     [Extent1].[Name] AS [Name],
     [Extent1].[IsActive] AS [IsActive]
FROM
     [dbo].[Bank] AS [Extent1]
ORDER BY
     [Extent1].[Name] ASC


This is not going to work because my table does not have the Id, Name and IsActive columns. How would I fix this and would EF map BankId to Id and BankName to Name automatically?
