EF property of type List not created in db

Question

I\'m developing an ASP.NET MVC5 application using code first EF. My code:

public enum Language : byte
{
    [Display(Name = \"Turkmen\")]
    TKM = 1,
    [D         


        

Answer 1

Use Flag Enum. You don't need any additional tables. It is much more faster.

In your model you can do

var person = new Person();
p.Languages.Add(Language.TKM);
p.Languages.Add(Language.TKM); // Add the same language twice

... which is wrong. With flag you will do like that

p.Languages = Language.TKM | Language.RUS;
