'loosing dataAnottation when upload model from database
I have a big database existing database to comunicate with, and I'm using EF 5.0 database first, the problem I'm having is that if I create any data decoration like [stringlength(50)] on the class and then the databases is uploaded, when I "upload from database" all data annotations are gone. How can I do to keep them?

The accepted answer may work for standard data operations, but I am trying to validate the model prior to the call to DbSet.Add using TryValidateObject. With the accepted answer, it is still not picking up on the data annotations.
What did work for me I found in a .NET Runtime GitHub thread, as proposed by what I'm inferring is one of the .NET developers.
Basically, this is a bug, and you have to force the model to recognize the metadata decorations using TypeDescriptor.AddProviderTransparent . . .
TypeDescriptor.AddProviderTransparent(new AssociatedMetadataTypeTypeDescriptionProvider(typeof(News), typeof(NewsAttrib)), typeof(News));
Once I make this call, TryValidateObject recognizes the data annotations and returns false when any of the constraints are not met.
Here's the link. I little more than half-way down, there's a working code sample in a .zip file.
