title: Format value from EF property?
body: <p>If I have a value stored in a column in the db, and use EF to get it, is there a recommended way to formatting it when retrieving it?</p>
  
  <p>For example, I store 6 digits in a string "123456", and every time the value is retrieved, it should be returned as "12˚34'56".</p>
  
  <p>When stored, it should just be the digits again.</p>
  
  <p>Currently, I'm doing it straight in the linq-query, but I'm not sure that is the best way. I do not want to change anything in the db.</p>
