LINQ to SQL does not support using default values from the database. The values in the entity at the time SubmitChanges is called are used instead. You can override how LINQ to SQL inserts entities by implementing an insert method on the DataContext. For an entity type called ‘Entity’ implement a function with the signature of ‘InsertEntity(Entity instance)’.
