MVC4 Entity Framework - Set Field value before Insertion/Update

Anonymous User280728-Sep-2013

I am working with an MVC 4 ASP.NET website using Entity Framework. This is my first ASP.NET website and sorry if I don't make much sense.

The website hosts posts, just think of an WordPress like blog. I expect to have a title property and a slug property which is implicitly derived from the title. So this is the class for the 'Post'.


public class Post 
{
    public virtual int PostID { get; set; }
   public virtual String Title { get; set; }
   public virtual string Slug { get; set; }
}


How could I set 'Slug' when inserting/updating the entry. I assume I have to tap in to the method that updates/inserts the database. It seems to be hiding. I am wondering if annotations could do the trick.

Apart from that and auto generated forms, I have a DbContextextended class with theOnModelCreating implemented.
