EF5.x Adding Custom Properties

I am using EF5.x Code First

namespace DAO.Models
{
    public partial class Person
    {
        public int UserId { get; set; }
}
}

i created another partial class to add custom properties.

namespace DAO.Models
{
    public partial class Person
    {
        public string customName { get; set; }
}
}

I have a Mapping that has been generated for my by EF 5.x power tools

    public PersonMap()
    {
        // Primary Key
        this.HasKey(t => new { t.PersonId });


        // Table & Column Mappings
        this.ToTable("Person", "TableX");
        this.Property(t => t.PersonId).HasColumnName("PersonId");


    }

when i try to add a new person to db 

 XContext db = new XContext();

                Person per= new Person();
   db.Persons.Add(per);

I get unknown column customName in Field List error

You can use the [NotMapped] annotation/attribute

[NotMapped]
public string customName { get; set; }
