Entity Framework default value for null properties on select
asp.net-web-api2 c# entity-framework entity-framework-6
Question
I am possibly looking at moving from nHibernate for my ORM to entity framework and I am running into a small issue if the database is has a null value, but the entity property is not nullable. nHibernate will just set the default value and move on and will not cause any exceptions. Meaning if I have a boolean property it will be false if the database is null.
In entity framework (6) it throws an exception. Is there some configuration setting that I am missing to tell EF to set a default value if the property is not nullable and the database value is null?
Accepted Answer
Your entity properties don't have to be automatic properties, so you could, for instance do:
public class SomeEntity
{
private bool _field
public bool? Field
{
get { return _field; }
set { _field = value.HasValue ? false : value.Value; }
}
}
