Adding fields in an existing Dynamic Data Store

I have an existing Dynamic Data Store "UserPetStore" and I have a class UserPet.cs which populates this store.

Whenever I add a new field in UserPet.cs. I always have to recreate the UserPetStore to get it populated properly.

Is this the expected behaviour? This is not ok especially on a live site.

Do I need to modfiy a mapping table or something?

Thanks.

You can add the [EPiServerDataStore(AutomaticallyRemapStore = true)] attribute to UserPet.cs class declaration. The next time you access UserPet it'll automatically remap everything for you.

private static DynamicDataStore Store
        {
            get
            {
                return DynamicDataStoreFactory.Instance.GetCreateEnsureStore(typeof(UserPet));
            }
        }

Sorry Jan, the code above is not the correct one. Should be:

private static DynamicDataStore Store
{
    get
    {
        return typeof(UserPet).GetOrCreateStore();
    }
}

See CMS 6 R2 Dynamic Data Store: How to use the new store creation and rempping functionality for more.
