Interface IPropertyValueConverter

Namespace

NextORM.Core

Assembly

nextorm.core.dll

Converts a mapped property's value between its CLR model type and the representation stored by the provider. A converter is attached to a property with ValueConverterAttribute or with the fluent HasConversion(IPropertyValueConverter) mapping, and is applied on both the read and the write path. The name avoids the System.Windows.Data IValueConverter collision.

public interface IPropertyValueConverter

Extension Methods

EntityBuilderExtensions.AsEntityBuilder<T>(object?)

Properties

ConvertsNulls

Whether a SQL NULL is passed through the converter instead of being mapped to a null model value. The policy lives on the converter instance so there is a single source of truth.

bool ConvertsNulls { get; }

Property Value

bool

ProviderType

The provider-side type produced by ConvertToProvider(object?) and consumed by ConvertFromProvider(object?). The reader uses it to select the typed accessor and the write path uses it to type the bound parameter.

Type ProviderType { get; }
