Hi jayanth,

thanks for the reply… i wanted to create a drop down select box for a model, but my db table did not have a the field for the same, hence no relation, it showed an error property not defined. But later i figured out that i had to declare that field as public variable in that model class. so it worked… not sure whether it was right thing to do. :)

Well first of all my name is Jayant not jayanth ;)

And yes you are doing right.if a model attribute is not define in the database table then you can define it in model class a public variable.and use that attribute. :)
