Question

How can i create a model and exclude a few fields from being in the database. I have a user model which new users can put information in but then i want to add a few more strings to the user model so i can have email fields there too but offcourse i don’t want to save those email fields to the database.
something like this ##`public class user {
public string user {}
public string email {} –exclude the email portion from being in database.

}`.##
I have tried doing 2 separate models and putting them into a parentview class but I kept getting an ID error since the parent class has no ID and i dont want to save the email fields in database… any suggestions

Answer 1

You need to add a partial class User with your custom fields

public partial class User
{
    public string Email
    {
        set; get;
    }
}
