Question

I was going through the MVC material over at asp.net, and came across the 5 minute introduction video:

http://www.asp.net/mvc/videos/5-minute-introduction-to-aspnet-mvc

In this video, there was demonstration of creating a model, then having MVC generate a Sql table based on the object/model automatically.

My question is, what mechinism is used to translate the object’s CLR datatypes to Sql Server datatypes?

I’d like to create a quick and dirty method to have similar functionality outside of MVC… something as simple as a method returning a Create Table string.

Answer 1

Like this maybe?

MSDN – Mapping CLR Parameter Data

Or this?

MSDN – SQL-CLR Type Mapping (LINQ to SQL)
