'Set datatype in C# with Entity Framework
I have this enum in my C# code:
enum MyOptionsEnum
{
Option1,
Option2,
Option3
};
I have an entity which uses this enum:
class OrderEntity
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
...
public MyOptionsEnum Options { get; set; }
}
This code works fine if I want to choose ONE option for each order.
What I want to do is to allow user to check 1,2 or 3 options (or 0). This is what I call a "set" of options.
Here is what I've done:
enum MyOptionsEnum
{
Option1 = 1,
Option2 = 2,
Option3 = 4
};
And here is what I've done in my code if i want to set Option1 and Option3 on a specific order:
order.Options = MyOptionsEnum.Option1 | MyOptionsEnum.Option3;
It works but it is ugly for me.
Let's imagine another developer which adds a new option in the enum and forget to set a multiple of 2 in the value. It won't work...
My question: is there a "Set" datatype in C# / Entity Framework ?
Thanks
