Map string to guid with Dapper

Question

I\'m using Dapper to hammer out some load testing tools that need to access a PostgreSQL database. This particular version of PostgreSQL does not support GUIDs natively, so

Answer 1

This is an old question but I feel it needs updating as Dapper now supports private properties, which Marc referenced to in his answer.

private String UserIDString { get; set; }
public Guid UserID
{
    get
    {
        return new Guid(UserIDString);
    }
    private set
    {
        UserID = value;
    }
}

Then in SQL give your ID column an alias to map it to the private property and not the actual property:

SELECT UserID AS UserIDString FROM....
