Hi @semafox,
Yes, you can create a partial class and add the new property. However there are a few other things required. Here is the full procedure of adding a FullName property to the Employee entity from the Northwind database (that already has FirstName and LastName properties).
- Create a partial class in the server\models\Northwind\ directory and add the property (the empty setter is needed):
public partial class Employee
{
public string FullName
{
get
{
return this.FirstName + " " + this.LastName;
}
set
{
}
}
}
- Create a new partial class that will extend the EF context in order to tell it to ignore that calculated property:
public partial class NorthwindContext
{
partial void OnModelBuilding(ModelBuilder builder)
{
builder.Entity<Employee>().Ignore(e => e.FullName);
}
}
- Finally use that property in Radzen. It won't display in autocomplete and dropdowns so you have to type it in:
In the end the computed property should display in a DataGrid like this:
