reference model variable to global variable value in .net mvc3 - asp.net-mvc-3

Question

with curiosity...
i am seeking for a temporary solution that will lead to an expansions of a system side controller.
i a mvc3.net razor based project with 100+ of class file
all of the class file (model) has a system field
specific
public string u_by { get; set; }
public System.DateTime u_date { get; set; }
public System.DateTime c_date { get; set; }
public string c_by { get; set; }
public int version { get; set;
public int groupid { get; set; }
public int status { get; set; }
at the moment the useraccess control has not been build yet which in the end the useraccess controller will and suppose to fill in this variable.
i need to fixed the value for all the variable above during a form insert, update, delete
is there any where i can
create a class and put a default value to it ?
i have created a
namespace webapp.Models
{
public class sysfield
{
public string _updatedBy;
public string _createdBy;
public DateTime _updatedDate;
public DateTime _createdDate;
public int _version;
public int _groupid;
public int _status;
//Constructor
public sysfield()
{
_updatedBy = HttpContext.Current.Server.MachineName.ToString();
_createdBy = HttpContext.Current.Server.MachineName.ToString();
_updatedDate = System.DateTime.Now;
_createdDate = System.DateTime.Now;
_version = updateVersion;
_groupid = 100;
_status = 1;
}
//Property
public int updateVersion
{
get
{
return _version;
}
set
{
_version = _version + 1;
}
}
//Set Values
public string createdBy(string initialCreator)
{
if (updateVersion == 1)
{
return _createdBy = initialCreator;
}
else
{
return _createdBy = HttpContext.Current.Server.MachineName.ToString();
}
}
public DateTime createdDate(DateTime initialDate)
{
if (updateVersion == 1)
{
return _createdDate = initialDate;
}
else
{
return _createdDate = System.DateTime.Now;
}
}
}
}
now the question is how do i default it in code below, where when i insert the model
of
namespace webapp.Models
{
public partial class usr_myapp
{
public int VEHID { get; set; }
public string CARNAME { get; set; }
public string CATEGORY { get; set; }
public string TYPE { get; set; }
public string u_by { get; set; }
public System.DateTime u_date { get; set; }
public System.DateTime c_date { get; set; }
public string c_by { get; set; }
public int version { get; set; }
public int groupid { get; set; }
public int status { get; set; }
}
}
with the Controller:
Where user will fill in everything else except for the system field c_by,u_by, and etc...
// POST: /myapp/Create
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(usr_myapp usr_myapp)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
db.usr_myapp.Add(usr_myapp);
db.SaveChanges();
}
return View(usr_myapp);
}
how do i default the
`
public ActionResult Create(usr_myapp usr_myapp)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
db.usr_myapp.Add(usr_myapp);
db.SaveChanges();
}
return View(usr_myapp);
}
`
where usr_myapp consist of
public int VEHID { get; set; }
public string CARNAME { get; set; }
public string CATEGORY { get; set; }
public string TYPE { get; set; }
public string u_by { get; set; }
public System.DateTime u_date { get; set; }
public System.DateTime c_date { get; set; }
public string c_by { get; set; }
public int version { get; set; }
public int groupid { get; set; }
public int status { get; set; }
the partial class, i got it from the edmx generation should i be changing all of it?
a lost man in the amazing world

You set the defaults in the constructor. Do you have a specific need for it to be a partial class?
