In ASP.NET Core, I have this enum:

    public enum MerchantStatus : byte
    {
        Inactive = 0,
        Active = 1
    }

Model:

public class Merchant : AuditableBaseEntity 
{
    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Merchant Name is required")]
    [Column(TypeName = "Varchar")]
    [StringLength(100)]
    public string MerchantName { get; set; }

    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Account Number is required")]
    [Column(TypeName = "Varchar")]
    [StringLength(50)]
    public string AccountNumber { get; set; }


    public MerchantStatus? MerchantStatus { get; set; } // 0=Inactive, 1=Active  Active/Inactive --default value

    [Display(Name = "Charge Mode")]
    public ChargeMode? ChargeMode { get; set; } //0=Fixed Or 1=Percentage
}


        modelBuilder.Entity<Merchant>(entity =>
        {
            entity.Property(m => m.Id).ValueGeneratedOnAdd();
            entity.Property(m => m.MerchantStatus).HasDefaultValue(1);

        });

I got this error:

Cannot set default value '1' of type 'System.Int32' on property 'MerchantStatus' of type 'System.Nullable`1[Helpers.EnumList MerchantStatus]' in entity type 'Merchant'.

How do I resolve this?

CodePudding user response：

cast your integer by replacing

.HasDefaultValue(1); with .HasDefaultValue((MerchantStatus)1);

or better - use the defined enum .HasDefaultValue(MerchantStatus.Active)
