mapping enum to string

[navirius]

I have this case with LinqConnect

1. I have enum

Code: Select all

    public enum DepositType : int
    {
    
        /// <summary>
        /// There are no comments for DepositType.Cash in the schema.
        /// </summary>
        [Description("TUNAI")]
        Cash,    
        /// <summary>
        /// There are no comments for DepositType.Credit in the schema.
        /// </summary>
        [Description("KREDIT")]
        Credit,    
        /// <summary>
        /// There are no comments for DepositType.Transfer in the schema.
        /// </summary>
        [Description("TRANSFER")]
        Transfer,    
        /// <summary>
        /// There are no comments for DepositType.TransferSaldo in the schema.
        /// </summary>
        [Description("CASH-SMS")]
        TransferSaldo
    }

2. I can use that enum with string description value, get enum value from string or convert enum to string value description attribute

3. I make private class data properties with string value that mapped by linqconnect to database
4. I make my own public properties with deposittype data type then I convert from string private properties that mapped by linqconnect, but no succes on linq query...always says can convert unmaped data

My point is I try to make string write and read from database but expose strongly type data type base on my enum to user...How I can achieve that, any hint? or trick? or workarround?

thanks for suggestion

Add the reference to the assembly with the attribute you need via Model > Settings > Model > Attributes. After this, add the required attribute to the model and to a particular enum property by selecting "Attributes" from its shortcut menu.
