Automapping PopulateWithNonDefaultValues and System.Uri

ServiceStack
1

Hi,

im using PopulateWithNonDefaultValues to populated my dataobject with my request properties.
They are having System.Uri as datatype but when populated they are populated as a string with “” around it.

Which means images are saved as

"https://www.bokamera.se/images/Demo/Hairsaloon/Events/WomenHaircut.png"

instead of

https://www.bokamera.se/images/Demo/Hairsaloon/Events/WomenHaircut.png

Please provide example code showing the issue.

DTO property is the following

    [Alias("EventImageURL")]
    [ApiMember(
     IsRequired = false,
     Description = "The service image")]
    public Uri ImageUrl { get; set; }

And in service i do this

    var service = Db.Single<ServiceModel.Db.Service>(
          Db.From<ServiceModel.Db.Service>()
          .Where(s => s.CompanyId == request.CompanyId && s.Id == request.Id));

       
        //Copy values
        service.PopulateWithNonDefaultValues(request);

now its saved as "https://www.bokamera.se/images/Demo/Hairsaloon/Events/WomenHaircut.png"
if i add this line after

service.ImageUrl = request.ImageUrl;

it works without “” around the image

Should be resolved from this commit.

This change is available from v5.4.1 that’s now available on MyGet.

Hi,
i still have the same problem once trying to save it to db.

In my ORMLite T4 template i have set the column to be type of URI (is varchar(max) in db)

tables["Event"]["EventImageUrl"].PropertyName="ImageUrl";
tables["Event"]["EventImageUrl"].PropertyType="Uri";

But when it’s saved it still is saved as “” around the filename

The

service.PopulateWithNonDefaultValues(request);

is populated correctly but its not saved correctly

Regards Kristian

RDBMS’s don’t have a Uri column type you should ideally be using a string on your Data models as otherwise it has to treat it as a complex type instead of a scalar string value.

Anyway I’ve added a test showing it’s saving/retrieving without issue in this commit, please include a stand-alone unit test I can run locally that shows the issue.

Hi,
it’s still are saved as " " around the filename in the database but when retrieving it back using ormlite it’s converted back to URI successfully without " " around it.
So it’s hard to create a unit test as you can only see the result i the DB and not when retrieving it back from DB using ormlite

That’s because you’re using Uri instead of string in your data model as per my previous comment.
