Seeding Database Setting Max Length

Im trying to seed my database with Faker.net because I need a lot of data generated, is it possible to set the phone numbers to only create 11 numbers long?

var addresses = Builder<deliveryAddress>.CreateListOfSize(40)
                .All()
            .With(c => c.FirstName = Faker.Name.First())
            .With(c => c.LastName = Faker.Name.Last())
            .With(c => c.Address = Faker.Address.StreetAddress())
            .With(c => c.City = Faker.Address.City())
            .With(c => c.Country = Faker.Address.UkCountry())
            .With(c => c.PostalCode = Faker.Address.UkPostCode())
            .With(c => c.Mobile = Faker.Phone.Number().)
            .With(c => c.Phone = Faker.Phone.Number())
                .Build();

            context.deliveryAddresses.AddOrUpdate(c => c.AdressId, addresses.ToArray());

Based on Faker.NET source code, Faker.Phone.Number() can take a parameter. You can pass the pattern string like "###-####-#####" as a parameter to Faker.Phone.Number(string pattern).

Saw your question on the phone, haven't got chance to test it.

Use String format to limit your string Characters.

Ex. String.Format("{0:(###) ###-####}", 9912345678);

This will output "(991) 234-5678".

Or also you can try:

const int MaxLength = 11; var name = "1234567910123456";

if (name.Length > MaxLength)

name = name.Substring(0, MaxLength); // name = "12345678910"

or Refer this trik.
