As far as I understood, property of type Type cannot be directly stored in a database. Thus, I decided to create a wrapper - I want Entity Framework to store type name and create a property to return desired type:
[Table("DescriptiveCategory")]
public class DescriptiveCategory : Category {
public string RelatedTypeName { get; set; }
public Type RelatedType {
get {
return Type.GetType(RelatedTypeName);
}
set {
RelatedTypeName = value.FullName;
}
}
}
This, unfortunately, does not work: if I try to update database, I get
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: extent
If I comment RelatedType
property, everything is fine. But I don't want Entity Framework to anything with this property - it serves only my needs. I could probably create get and set methods instead but I don't understand why this approach (with computed properties) doesn't work.
Use NotMappedAttribute
:
Denotes that a property or class should be excluded from database mapping.
