replacing column contents based on conditions - change column name - using code first migration

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

I'm wanting to add a new migration in which i have removed a property of boolean 'IsRunIndividual" and added a property of int 'Type'.

In theory , I would like to run the code first migration , and when I do replace all true values with '1' and false with 0.

I know what you're thinking that is true and false. But these values could be 2 or 3 in the future. Also am i right in thinking the migration will delete this column (IsRunInd) as i have removed it from the model?

What are my options, and how would i get it so there is no column of IsRunIndividual and a new column (property) of Type. And then when seeding the new column it gets the values from the IsRun column.

Many Thanks

Add a new int type column. manually copy the data using query from old column.. and than delete the old column from model.
