Ah ok...
So how do you add a property which doesn’t get persisted? I’m using auto-mapping at the moment, is there some kind of convention I can use? Thanks !! From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mikael Henriksson Sent: 04 August 2009 23:52 To: [email protected] Subject: [fluent-nhib] Re: Helper Properties Just add a virtual property to your entity. You don't have to persist every property of a class you know so what you have there should work fine too. Or if you wan't you could add a method for retrieving it in the entity class but that would feel less right to me. 2009/8/5 Paul Hinett <[email protected]> Hi again! Sorry about the bombardment of questions! I’m not sure if this is the best place to ask this question but i’ll throw it out there anyway. In my legacy web application I used to include read only properties to help return a value, the property contained a small amount of logic. A good example would be a members profile image from my database. Here is an example from simple a LINQ to SQL project I done recently: Public ReadOnly Property ProfileImageUrl() As String Get Dim imgUrl As String If profileImageStatus = Enums.ProfileImageStatus.Active Then imgUrl = String.Format("/images/artists/{0}/profileMain{1}", accountId, profileImageExt) Else imgUrl = "/images/defaults/profileMain.gif" End If Return imgUrl End Get End Property I want to display a list of members on my site with either an image they have uploaded or the default one if they haven’t uploaded one. Instead of performing this check in my view to display the correct image can I add a property to the Member.cs entity object? Or is there somewhere else i should be performing this operation? Thank you very much for your time!!
