在MVC自动生成的类中注释asp.net属性

Question

I have an auto generated partial class in my Model folder with lots of properties and I need to modify some of the setters in these properties(annotate property).
To ensure that I don't repeat myself in the future(after a refresh) I have another partial class with the same properties by use of attributes, where these properties cannot be modified, only via provided attributes.
So I have built a custom attribute class to modify those properties. But this seems more abusive than useful, so how can I annotate the properties that I want that it's also a DRY and clean code?

public partial class Stud  <---- Extended partial class
{

    public string Property2                 <---- This does not work! 
    { 
        get {return Property2;}
        set {Property2 = Property2.Trim();} 
    }
}

Your best option, assuming your class is generated with a T4 template, is to add custom logic in the template for generating the specific property. Otherwise, there is no way to override a property defined in one part of a partial class, in the other part of the class.

Another option is to wrap the generated property with a custom property in the part under your control, which will write to and read from the generated property with your custom logic. Then, you will use the wrapper property to access the generated one.
