Question

When I update my Entity model my code generated classes (ie. Model.tt) are rebuild, this is expected.
But lets say I want to have this

[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:dd MMM yyyy}")]

above some datetime property.

My id is to have a class to inhered the base class via

public class ChildClass : BaseClass
{
    [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:dd MMM yyyy}")]
    public override DateTime? Day
    {
        get { return base.Day; }
        set{ base.Day = value; }
    }
}

Maybe there is another way to do this, but can I make the code generated class have all (or some) properties virtual ?

Answer 1

instead of using the override keyword I use the new instead, and thus don’t need to have the property virtual
