  I have  the following model .  How can I store the datetime value which are stored in the column MOTDate , TaxDate  into the column MOTDateString, TaxDateString  automatically.

  public class Vehicles
      {
       
          public DateTime? MOTDate { get; set; }
          public DateTime? TaxDate { get; set; }
          public DateTime? RegDate { get; set; }       
          public DateTime? InsuredDate { get; set; }
          
          [NotMapped]
          public string MOTDateString {get;set;}
          [NotMapped]
          public string TaxDateString { get; set; }
  
          }

  Pretty simple but confusing why you ask this question over and over.

      public class Vehicles
      {
          public DateTime? MOTDate { get; set; }
          public DateTime? TaxDate { get; set; }
          public DateTime? RegDate { get; set; }
          public DateTime? InsuredDate { get; set; }
          [NotMapped]
          public string MOTDateString 
          { 
              get 
              { 
                  return MOTDate?.ToString(); 
              } 
          }
          [NotMapped]
          public string TaxDateString { get; set; }
      }

  Hi polachan,

  Is there anything wrong?As mgebhard said,it could set the MOTDateString, TaxDateString automatically which depends on the value of  MOTDate , TaxDate.

  Model:

  public class Vehicles
  {
      public DateTime? MOTDate { get; set; }
      public DateTime? TaxDate { get; set; }
      public DateTime? RegDate { get; set; }
      public DateTime? InsuredDate { get; set; }
      [NotMapped]
      public string MOTDateString
      {
          get
          {
              return MOTDate?.ToString();
          }
      }
      [NotMapped]
      public string TaxDateString
      {
          get
          {
              return TaxDate?.ToString();
          }
      }
  }

  Controller(For easy testing,I just set the value manually):

  var data = new Vehicles()
  {
      MOTDate = DateTime.Parse("2019-8-7"),
      TaxDate = DateTime.Parse("2020-7-7")
  };

  Result:

  

  Best Regards,
