Also wanted to use some dynamic into the Entity Framework Table attribute like this:
[Table(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Prefix"] + "TABLENAME")] public class Tablename: BaseEntity, IEquatable<Tablename> { .... }
using the following app-setting from web.config
<appSettings> <add key="Prefix" value="TEMP_" /> </appSettings>
This will end up with the following error:
An attribute argument must be a constant expression, typeof expression or array creation expression of an attribute parameter type
Instead create the following class:
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations; using System.Configuration; namespace Domain.Extensions { public class CustomTableAttribute : TableAttribute { public CustomTableAttribute(string name) : base(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Prefix"] + name) { } } }
and now you can use:
[CustomTable("TABLENAME")] public class Tablename: BaseEntity, IEquatable<Tablename> { .... }
Good luck,
