Set model property to boolean in Entity Framework

Question

I am just starting to learn a bit about the entity framework and don\'t have much experience with ORM\'s.

In my little app I have one table, this sql server table ha

Answer 1

I think for the tinyint you will have to make a partial class and use a separate field that appropriately read/writes to that field. However the framework will correctly interpret bit fields as boolean.

You could try something like below as the partial..

public partial class MyItem
{
    public bool FlagBool
    {
        get { return Flag == 1; }
        set { Flag = value ? 1 : 0; }
    }
}

Answer 2

You could change the datatype of MyFlag to bit in the database.
