PropertyValueAttribute

This is the base class for all the attributes that are used when setting the properties of the DbParameter object.

Attribute

Below a sample code on how to use this attribute.

public class Person
{
    public int Id { get; set; }

    [PropertyValue(typeof(DbParameter), nameof(DbParameter.ParameterName), "CompleteName")]
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

Fluent Mapping

Below is a sample code on how to use this attribute via FluentMapper.

FluentMapper
    .Entity<Person>()
    .PropertyValueAttributes(e => e.Name,
        new PropertyValueAttribute(typeof(DbParameter), nameof(DbParameter.ParameterName), "CompleteName"));

You can also map multiple instances.

FluentMapper
    .Entity<Person>()
    .PropertyValueAttributes(e => e.Name, new []
    {
        new PropertyValueAttribute(typeof(DbParameter), nameof(DbParameter.ParameterName), "CompleteName")
        new PropertyValueAttribute(typeof(DbParameter), nameof(DbParameter.DbType), DbType.NVarChar)
    });

Retrieval

You can retrieve the list of mapped attributes via PropertyValueAttributeCache.

var attributes = PropertyValueAttributeCache.Get<Person>(e => e.Name);

Or, via the PropertyValueAttributeMapper.

var attributes = PropertyValueAttributeMapper.Get<Person>(e => e.Name);

We strongly suggest to always use the PropertyValueAttributeCache to maximize the performance.

Implementation

Below is a sample code on how to implement a class that inherits this class.

public class CustomizedNameAttribute : PropertyValueAttribute
{
    public CustomizedNameAttribute(string parameterName)
        : base(typeof(DbParameter), nameof(DbParameter.ParameterName), parameterName)
    { }
}

After that, your customized attribute can then be used on a class.

public class Person
{
    public int Id { get; set; }

    [CustomizedName("CompleteName")]
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

Or via FluentMapper.

FluentMapper
    .Entity<Person>()
    .PropertyValueAttributes(e => e.Name,
        new [] { new CustomizedNameAttribute("CompleteName" })

The implementation is dynamic, therefore, you can target any property of the IDbDataParameter regardless of the data providers (i.e.: SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL or SQLite).
