Dapper insert into table that has a composite PK

Question

I have a table that has a primary key composed of two columns, neither of which are auto-incrementing, and my Dapper insert (part of Dapper Extensions) is failing on the insert saying that the first of the two columns does not allow a null, even tho the value I'm passing in is not null.

Table Student:

StudentId (PK, not null)   \_ (combined to form primary key)
StudentName (PK, not null) /
Active                     -- just another column

C#:

public class Student {
  public int StudentId { get; set; }
  public string StudentName { get; set; }
  public bool Active { get; set; }
}

var newStudent = new Student { StudentId = 5, StudentName = "Joe", Active = true };
var insertSuccess = myConn.Insert<Student>(newStudent);

Error:

Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'StudentId', table 'dbo.Student'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.

Dapper is for some reason not getting the StudentId with a value of 5. Do I have to do something special for tables that have combined PK's, or with tables that have PK's that are not auto-incrementing? Thanks.

Adding an AutoClassMapper will change the behavior for all classes. If you wish to handle just this one class you can create a Map for just this class.

public class StudentClassMapper : ClassMapper<Student>
{
    public StudentClassMapper()
    {
        Map(x => x.StudentId).Key(KeyType.Assigned);
        Map(x => x.StudentName).Key(KeyType.Assigned);
        AutoMap();  // <-- Maps the unmapped columns
    }
}
