Hide fields in Edit/Insert Mode

Question

User-272643235 posted

I have four fields in my table to use for auditing:

ModifiedOn (datetime)

ModifiedBy (GUID : UserId)

CreatedOn (datetime)

CreatedBy (GUID : UserId)

I don't need to show these fields when user is inserting or updating, but I still need to save those in database.

What's the best way to do this?

Thanks!

You're in luck - sjnaughton answered this exact question in the last week or two.   Steve has an article on his site showing how to do this with EF.

  I should tell you that it's better to let the DB insert the time (using Default(dateTime)) and use a trigger on insert.

 That's exactly what I was looking for... thank you!
