Field Types

Type Inference

The extension attempts to automatically infer the appropriate field type for each property. You can also override the type manually by setting [FieldType(FieldType)] on the property.

Enums

Enums are rendered as a <select> element, with the enum name as the display label and the underlying numeric value as the option value.

Reference Types

Reference type properties need [ValueSource(string)] to work properly. See foreign keys.

Reference types will be rendered as a <select> with the Id as the value and ToString() as the displayed name.

Lists

List properties need [ValueSource(string)] to work properly. See foreign keys.

Lists will be rendered as a <select multiple> with the Id as the value and ToString() as the displayed name.
