c# - EntityFramework pence to pounds

Question

I'm building a WPF application. I made my database using Code-First.

I need to insert prices of items in pence (e.g. 500), but when prices will be displayed they should be in pounds (5,00).

I tried to do the "conversion" in the setter of my property

public decimal Price
{
   get { return price; }
   set { price = value/100 ;}
}

But, for some reason, when I drop manually the database, the values in my ListView are shown some times like 0,05 and other times like 500,00. Something must be wrong with this method.

How can I tell my database to consider last 2 numbers of my value as decimal?

Answer 1

You might want to try something like this

public class YourClassName {
   public decimal Price { get; set; }

   [NotMapped]
   public decimal Pounds => Price/100;
}
