Question

I was wondering if there is easy solution to this or I’m stuck with following:

When updating DB:

dti.Pass = Crypter.Encrypt(dti.Pass);
_db.SubmitChanges();

When selecting from DB:

Data.DbTableItem dti = _db.Single(a=>a.Id == id);
dti.Pass = Crypter.Decrypt(dti.Pass);

Meaning – I am not really into writing repetitive code and this seems like logical thing to be supported by LINQ; so I’m wondering if it is.

Answer 1

You could add a partial class with a property encapsulating this logic like:

public partial class DbTableItem
{
  public String UnencryptedPass
  {
    get
    {
       return  Crypter.Decrypt(this.Pass);
    }

    set
    {
       this.Pass = Crypter.Encrypt(value)
    }
  }
}

Hope it helps : )
