Is there a way to change the scope on a property.

I have several properties that should be read only to the UI but not the database. The values are updated as part of a method call.

Could you use LLBLGen's Authorization support to deny the user's ability to write to the field?

This is very useful when some people should have write access to a field & others have read-only.

In this case no one should be allowed to update the fields outside the internal scope.

Example the object method is called by an internal service class

internal void DoAction() { this.ActionDate=DateTime.Now; this.ActionTakenBy=this.CurrentIdentity.Name; }

Sorry. Apparently the "feature request" forum is private. I paste some text here:

readonly is possible, but not in all cases, as a true readonly field has a problem if it's an FK. Different attributes is something we've on our list for v3.

I would also like to hide related collections (especially n-m collections) to only allow mutation of the collections from the entity itself through my custom partial methods, to prevent confusion on how to use them.

So you want to map a field on them, yet you don't want to expose them as such? (so the collection/reference should be internal/private) ?

It's something to consider indeed.

You've to be logged in to see the forum. I think you are logged in at www.llblgen.com, while this url links to 'llblgen.com' which is a different url for forms authentication which is used for this forum.
