Dapper Contrib Computed Use Data Annotation With Computed Column

Description

The Computed attribute specifies that the property should be excluded from the update.

• You can use Computed columns in the database and decorate your entity with the Computed attribute to prevent updating its value to the table.
• The Computed attribute allows you to specify that a property should be computed based on the values of other properties.

The following example shows how to use the Computed attribute on a property in which you don't want to update its value in the database table.

[Table("Invoice")]
public class InvoiceContrib
{
	[Key]
	public int InvoiceID { get; set; }

	public string Code { get; set; }
	public InvoiceKind Kind { get; set; }

	[Write(false)]
	[Computed]
	public string FakeProperty { get; set; }
}

using (var connection = My.ConnectionFactory())
{
	connection.Open();

	var invoices = connection.GetAll<InvoiceContrib>().ToList();

	// The FakeProperty is skipped
	invoices.ForEach(x => x.FakeProperty += "z");

	var isSuccess = connection.Update(invoices);
}
