Re: Extending SQL LINQ Table Class

Thanks for your reply Mark,

Do you mean the "LINQ to SQL (Part 8 - Executing Custom SQL Expressions) "
link was broken? If so, you can try searching the subject in web directly.
There are a series of LINQ to SQL articles on ScottGu's blog. They are very
helpful.

Steven,

Thanks for the quick reply. You're right, extended properties work fine so
long as you don't try to use them in a query.

I think I saw some references on the web to replacing properties that
don't map to database fields to method calls which can be used
in queries.

BTW, the second link you gave me doesn't work.

Hi Mark,

I think custom properites with partial class for LINQ object class is
supported. As for the property you added, did you by any chance used it
in
any data query expression? It seems the custom property will not be
recognized in any query expression to the datasource. Or you just get the
compile error without using the property in any place? here is a web
forum
thread mentioned something about add custom property:

#Custom properties in LINQ to SQL classes

and here is a blog article about extending LINQ to SQL query:

Hope this helps.

Subject: Extending SQL LINQ Table Class

I am trying to extend a table entity class (generated from the visual
designer for data contexts) with a property that has no
corresponding column in the underlying Sql Server table.

When I do this, I get a NotSupportedException complaining that the
property I added has no supported translation to the database.

The documentation implies that properties not marked with the Column
attribute will be ignored when interfacing to the
database...but that's not what appears to be happening.

Is there some other attribute I need to decorate the property with to
have
the property "skipped"? Or is it just not possible to add
properties to table entity classes using partial classes? If that's the
case, the documentation should make that clear.
