EF - Do not increase the id value when using Seeding class - postgresql

I am developing a project in .net core 2.1.1 and I am using a Postgree 12 database.
In my project I have a seeding class, and the objects created in the seeding are created normally in my database, but when I try to create a record in the bank after performing the seeding, I get an ID violation error.
PostgresException: 23505: duplicate key value violates unique
constraint "PK_Linha"
this is my seeding class:
public class SeedingService
{
//Populariza o BD
private MesContext _context;
public SeedingService(MesContext context)
{
_context = context;
}
public void Seed()
{
_context.Migrar();
if ( _context.Linha.Any()) // este if serve para verificar se já existe dados no BD
{
// operação Any verifica se já existe algo na tabela x
return; // se já existe retorna Obs: "O BD já foi populado"
}
Linha l1 = new Linha(1, "Linha 1", "descricao da linha1");
Linha l2 = new Linha(2, "Linha 2", "descricao da linha2");
Linha l3 = new Linha(3, "Linha 3", "descricao da linha3");
// add os dados no BD
_context.Linha.AddRange(l1,l2,l3);
_context.SaveChanges();
}
}
this is my model:
public class Linha
{
public int Id { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Campo {0} é obrigatório")] // {0} é o campo Name
[StringLength(25, MinimumLength = 3,ErrorMessage = "O campo {0} deve ter entre {2} a {1} caracteres")]
public string Nome { get; set; }
[StringLength(200, MinimumLength = 5, ErrorMessage = "O campo {0} deve ter entre {2} a {1} caracteres")]
[Display(Name = "Descrição")]
public string Descricao { get; set; }
public ICollection<Estoque> Estoques { get; set; } = new List<Estoque>();
public ICollection<OrdemProducao> OrdensProducao { get; set; } = new List<OrdemProducao>();
public ICollection<LinhaEquipamento> LinhaEquipamentos { get; set; } = new List<LinhaEquipamento>();
public Linha()
{
}
public Linha(int id, string nome, string descricao)
{
Id = id;
Nome = nome;
Descricao = descricao;
}
}
This is my Controller:
public class LinhaController : Controller
{
private readonly LinhaService _context;
private readonly UsuarioService _userContext;
public LinhaController(LinhaService context,
UsuarioService userContext)
{
_context = context;
_userContext = userContext;
}
public async Task<IActionResult> Index()
{
var idUser = Int32.Parse(User.FindFirst("IdUsuario")?.Value);
if (!await _userContext.VerificaPermissao( // se ele n possui permissão
idUser, "Perm_Linha", ""))
{
return RedirectToAction("SemPermissao", "Home", new { area = "" });
}
if (!await _userContext.VerificaPermissao( // se ele n possui permissão
idUser, "Perm_Linha", "Sub_Deletar"))
{
ViewBag.PossuiDelete = false; // n possui
}
else
{
ViewBag.PossuiDelete = true; // possui
}
var list = await _context.FindAllAsync();
return View(list);
}
//GET CREATE
public async Task<IActionResult> Create()
{
var idUser = Int32.Parse(User.FindFirst("IdUsuario")?.Value);
if (!await _userContext.VerificaPermissao( // se ele n possui permissão
idUser, "Perm_Linha", "Sub_Criar"))
{
return StatusCode(403);
}
return View();
}
//POST CREATE
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<IActionResult> Create(Linha obj)
{
/*verifica se post é valido. Se o js estiver desabilitado no navegador do usuario
ele consegue dar post vazio, esse if serve para previnir isso*/
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return View(obj);
}
if (await _context.VerificaNome(obj.Nome, -1)) // se existe login
{
return Json("Erro: Este Nome já existe.");
}
await _context.InsertAsync(obj);
return Json("Success");
}
}
This same situation was reported here, but I was not successful in finding a solution for this.
would anyone know why I'm getting this error?

Linha's Id is automatically discovered by EF Core and set up as an auto-incrementing key - that means that database is responsible for assigning ID values. However, in your seeding you are assigning the IDs yourself via a constructor (1, 2, 3). PostgreSQL does not update the auto-increment value, so the next Linha you try to insert will get an auto-generated key of 1, which conflicts with the seeded value.
To make this work, remove the id constructor of Linha and leave it uninitialized. This will make PostgreSQL generate auto-increment values for your seeded values as well, and all should work.

How To Insert Data In FluentAPI Mapping Table

I have a A Table, B Table and AB (Mapping Table)
A
public class A
{
public int AID{ get; set; }
[JsonIgnore]
public virtual ICollection<B> Bs { get; set; }
}
B
public class B
{
public int BID { get; set; }
[JsonIgnore]
public virtual ICollection<A> As { get; set; }
}
ApplicationDbContext
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
modelBuilder.Entity<B>()
.HasMany(s => s.As)
.WithMany(c => c.Bs)
.Map(cs =>
{
cs.MapLeftKey("AID");
cs.MapRightKey("BID");
cs.ToTable("AB");
});
}
Now things are perfectly fine, but how do I insert in this AB Mapping table?
If I try to create AB as like below, it generates two tables, AB and AB1 with same column name and all.
public class AB
{
public int ABID { get; set; }
public string AID { get; set; }
public int BID { get; set; }
}
So is there any way to do CRUD in FluentAPI Mapping Table?
If not, then can I force FluentAPI to map from Existing table? In this case I'll manually manage Employee and will change the mapping code to use existing table.
I'm unable to find any of the solution.
Edit: Since the question was changed, I'm writing up a more thorough answer. The answer to your question remains the same, however:
Now things are perfectly fine, but how do I insert in this AB Mapping
table?
You don't!
This is exactly the kind of thing that EF is good at. Instead of managing a link table yourself, now you just end up with the actual object you want. So, if you want to add a link between an A and B, all you do is add a B to the Bs collection on that A. You don't ever insert directly into the AB table, because who cares about that? That table is there so we can have relationships between different As and Bs, that's it. So, Entity Framework will create the table for it's own use, but not present it to you, because that's not how EF works: you work with your objects and let EF handle the database.
That's why when you try to define the table yourself, it creates two: it's already making a table called AB, but you're asking for another one. It can't have exactly the same name so it appends a '1' to the end of it. Since you've already used FluentAPI to define the apping, let EF worry about how to implement the mapping: all you need to care about is that you've now got a way to have an A with a set of Bs, or vice versa.
Since this still sounds confusing with names 'A' and 'B', below is the Program class for a console app that will illustrate this; all you need to do is start a fresh console app, replace the Program class with this one, install the entity framework package, and run enable-migrations -enableautomaticmigrations -force. I recommend you use this to add some objects and relate them, and then go have a look at your database: you will see the 'AB' table, with records that were added. This might help explain it better.

Old Answer: You've defined an ICollection<ApplicationUser> called Employees in Company, and mapped to it with FluentAPI. This creates a table called 'Employees' as expected. You don't have to create another class called Employees; as far as Entity Framework is concerned, you've already told it to create a table called Employees. This is why
I think the step you're missing is defining your DbSet<>.
Using your code, and running Add-Migration, this is the definition I get for the Employees table:
CreateTable(
"dbo.Employees",
c => new
{
UserID = c.Int(nullable: false),
CompanyID = c.Int(nullable: false),
})
.PrimaryKey(t => new { t.UserID, t.CompanyID })
.ForeignKey("dbo.ApplicationUsers", t => t.UserID, cascadeDelete: true)
.ForeignKey("dbo.Companies", t => t.CompanyID, cascadeDelete: true)
.Index(t => t.UserID)
.Index(t => t.CompanyID);
Which seems to correlate with what you wanted.
To finish it off, add (if you haven't already) this to your ApplicationDbContext file:
public DbSet<ApplicationUser> Employees;
public DbSet<Company> Companies;
Then to add an employee, you create a new ApplicationUser and add it like
ApplicationUser user = new ApplicationUser();
// do whatever here to give it the right data
ApplicationDbContext ctx = new ApplicationDbContext();
ctx.Employees.Add(user);
The Employees table itself you shouldn't ever have to interact with.
EF will manage that you don't need to insert into the mapping table directly, have a look at this sample that I have in my project:
public class Organization : Entity<int>
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Address { get; set; }
public string MainContact { get; set; }
public string Phone { get; set; }
public string Website { get; set; }
//navigation property
public virtual ICollection<DevelopmentalGoal> DevelopmentalGoals { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<ServiceActivity> ServiceActivities { get; set; }
}
public class DevelopmentalGoal : Entity<int>
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Icon { get; set; }
//navigation property
public virtual ICollection<Organization> Organizations { get; set; }
}
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.Entity<Organization>().ToTable("Organization", "ServiceLearning")
.HasKey(t => t.ID);
modelBuilder.Entity<DevelopmentalGoal>().ToTable("DevelopmentalGoal", "ServiceLearning")
.HasKey(t => t.ID);
modelBuilder.Entity<Organization>()
.HasMany(t => t.DevelopmentalGoals)
.WithMany(t=> t.Organizations)
.Map(m =>
{
m.ToTable("OrganizationDevelopmentalGoal", "ServiceLearning");
m.MapLeftKey("OrganizationID");
m.MapRightKey("DevelopmentalGoalID");
});
}
public int SaveOrganization(OrganizationViewModel viewModel, IUserContext currentUser)
{
Organization organization;
{
if (viewModel.ID == 0)
{
organization = ObjectMapper.MapTo<Organization>(viewModel);
_context.Set<Organization>().Add(organization);
}
else
{
organization = _context.Set<Organization>()
.SingleOrDefault(t =>
t.ID == viewModel.ID
);
organization.Name = viewModel.Name;
organization.Address = viewModel.Address;
organization.MainContact = viewModel.MainContact;
organization.Phone = viewModel.Phone;
organization.Website = viewModel.Website;
UpdateOrganizationDevelopmentalGoals(organization, viewModel);
}
try
{
CommitChanges();
}
catch (DbUpdateException ex)
{
if (ex.IsDuplicateException())
throw new KeystoneDuplicateException("A Organization with the same name already exists.");
throw ex;
}
}
return organization.ID;
}
private void UpdateOrganizationDevelopmentalGoals(Organization organization, OrganizationViewModel viewModel)
{
var originalIdList = organization.DevelopmentalGoals.Select(d => d.ID).Distinct().ToList();
var modifiedIdList = viewModel.DevelopmentalGoal.Where(d => d.Selected == true).Select(d => d.ID).Distinct().ToList();
//Remove deleted Developmetal Goals.
foreach (var id in originalIdList.Except(modifiedIdList))
organization.DevelopmentalGoals.Remove(organization.DevelopmentalGoals.Single(d => d.ID == id));
//Add new Developmetal Goals.
foreach (var id in modifiedIdList.Except(originalIdList))
{
//Add director relationship without having to load entity.
var d = new DevelopmentalGoal { ID = id };
_context.Set<DevelopmentalGoal>().Attach(d);
organization.DevelopmentalGoals.Add(d);
}
}
As you can see in the UpdateOrganizationDevelopmentalGoals method I do not insert or delete data from the mapping table directly, I insert and delete from the organization.DevelopmentalGoals and as I've already defined the mapping table in fluent API on "OnModelCreating" then EF knows how to manage the relations.

Why doesn't entity framework return any rows from related tables

I wrote this code
class Student {
public Student() {
this.Courses = new HashSet<Course>();
}
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Course> Courses { get; set; }
}
class Course {
public Course() {
this.Students = new HashSet<Student>();
}
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Student> Students { get; set; }
}
class SchoolDBContext : DbContext {
public DbSet<Student> Students { get; set; }
public DbSet<Course> Courses { get; set; }
public SchoolDBContext()
: base("SchoolDbConnectionString") {
}
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder) {
modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<PluralizingTableNameConvention>();
}
}
My Seed method looks like
protected override void Seed(ConsoleApplication6.SchoolDBContext context)
{
Course c1 = new Course { ID = 1, Name = "Chemistry" };
Course c2 = new Course { ID = 2, Name = "Maths" };
Course[] courses = new Course[2];
courses[0] = c1;
courses[1] = c2;
Student s1 = new Student { ID = 1, Name = "Student 1" };
Student s2 = new Student { ID = 1, Name = "Student 2" };
Student[] students = new Student[2];
students[0] = s1;
students[1] = s2;
c1.Students = students;
c2.Students = students;
context.Courses.AddOrUpdate(course => new { course.ID }, courses);
}
After I run Update-database I can see that the database has 3 tables. Student and Course tables have 2 rows each and StudentCourse table has 4 rows. So I guess all data is seeded correctly.
Now when I write this code in my main method
static void Main(string[] args) {
SchoolDBContext c = new SchoolDBContext();
c.Configuration.LazyLoadingEnabled = true;
Student s = (from student in c.Students where student.ID == 1 select student).FirstOrDefault();
List<Course> courses = s.Courses.ToList();
Console.WriteLine(s.Name);
Console.WriteLine(courses.Count);
foreach (Course co in courses) {
Console.WriteLine(co.Name);
}
}
it prints the name of the student correctly... but prints 0 for courses.Count and the forloop on courses List returns nothing.
why am I not able to get the courses for student 1?
I also tried the other way round
static void Main(string[] args) {
SchoolDBContext c = new SchoolDBContext();
c.Configuration.LazyLoadingEnabled = true;
Course co = (from course in c.Courses where course.ID == 1 select course).FirstOrDefault();
Console.WriteLine(co.Name);
List<Student> students = co.Students.ToList();
foreach (Student s in students) {
Console.WriteLine(s.Name);
}
}
here also the name of the course is returned correctly... but it doesn't print any of the students.
So entity framework is not able to walk to the related table and fetch rows from there.
What's going on?
Found the answer myself.
static void Main(string[] args) {
SchoolDBContext c = new SchoolDBContext();
c.Configuration.LazyLoadingEnabled = false;
Course co = (from course in c.Courses.Include("Students") where course.ID == 1 select course).FirstOrDefault();
Console.WriteLine(co.Name);
List<Student> students = co.Students.ToList();
foreach (Student s in students) {
Console.WriteLine(s.Name);
}
}
putting it here so that it benefits someone....
But according to me my original code should have worked (lazy loading) so I don't understand why my original code which was doing lazy loading did not work.
OK. here is the solution with lazy loading
static void Main(string[] args) {
SchoolDBContext context = new SchoolDBContext();
context.Configuration.LazyLoadingEnabled = true;
Course co = (from course in context.Courses where course.ID == 1 select course).FirstOrDefault();
//Course co = (from course in c.Courses where course.ID == 1 select course).FirstOrDefault();
Console.WriteLine(co.Name);
foreach (Student s in context.Entry(co).Collection(c => c.Students).Query()) {
Console.WriteLine(s.Name);
}
}
This was really useful

EntityValidationException is thrown when saving my entity

I got this message when debugged in catch (Exception e). When User fill in all the information, Address and Payment View will get the SalesOrderID and redirect to Complete View. But it didn't show the Complete when it done.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult AddressAndPayment(SalesOrderHeader order,Customer customer, Address address ,FormCollection values)
{
ViewBag.PersonType = new SelectList(new[] { "EM", "SC", "VC", "IN" } // work
.Select(x => new { value = x, text = x }),
"value", "text");
try
{
if (string.Equals(values["PromoCode"], PromoCode, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) == false)
{
return View(order);
}
else
{
order.AccountNumber = User.Identity.Name;
order.OrderDate = DateTime.Now;
address.ModifiedDate = DateTime.Now; // maybe this error
order.Address.PostalCode = "12345";
//Save Order
BikeDBs.SalesOrderHeaders.Add(order);
try
{
BikeDBs.SaveChanges();
}
catch (DbEntityValidationException e)
{
foreach (var entityValidationErrors in e.EntityValidationErrors)
{
foreach (var validationError in entityValidationErrors.ValidationErrors)
{
Console.WriteLine("Properties: {0} Error: {1}", validationError.PropertyName, validationError.ErrorMessage);
}
}
}
//Process Order
var cart = ShoppingCart.GetCart(this.HttpContext);
cart.CreateOrder(order);
//cart.CreateOrder(order1);
return RedirectToAction("Complete", new { id = order.SalesOrderID });
}
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
//Invalid - redisplay with errors
return View(order);
}
All I want is when the Order is saved, it will redirect to Complete. But in this case, it's not. And here is Address model:
public partial class Address
{
public Address()
{
this.SalesOrderHeaders = new HashSet<SalesOrderHeader>();
this.SalesOrderHeaders1 = new HashSet<SalesOrderHeader>();
}
public int AddressID { get; set; }
public string AddressLine1 { get; set; }
public string AddressLine2 { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public int StateProvinceID { get; set; }
public string PostalCode { get; set; }
public System.Guid rowguid { get; set; }
[Required()]
public Nullable<System.DateTime> ModifiedDate { get; set; }
public virtual StateProvince StateProvince { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<SalesOrderHeader> SalesOrderHeaders { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<SalesOrderHeader> SalesOrderHeaders1 { get; set; }
}
What's a solution and how to fix it?
You can do this pretty easily by using the ModelState, it should catch it. If it doesn't I added code into your catch block to catch it and display the page again with the errors using ModelState.AddModelError.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult AddressAndPayment(SalesOrderHeader order,Customer customer, Address address ,FormCollection values)
{
ViewBag.PersonType = new SelectList(new[] { "EM", "SC", "VC", "IN" } // work
.Select(x => new { value = x, text = x }),
"value", "text");
if(ModelState.IsValid)
{
try
{
if (string.Equals(values["PromoCode"], PromoCode, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) == false)
{
return View(order);
}
else
{
order.AccountNumber = User.Identity.Name;
order.OrderDate = DateTime.Now;
order.Address.PostalCode = values["PostalCode"];
//Save Order
BikeDBs.SalesOrderHeaders.Add(order);
try
{
BikeDBs.SaveChanges();
}
catch (DbEntityValidationException e)
{
foreach (var entityValidationErrors in e.EntityValidationErrors)
{
foreach (var validationError in entityValidationErrors.ValidationErrors)
{
// If this far add errors to model errors and show view again.
ModelState.AddModelError(validationError.PropertyName, validationError.ErrorMessage);
Console.WriteLine("Properties: {0} Error: {1}", validationError.PropertyName, validationError.ErrorMessage);
}
}
return View(order);
}
//Process Order
var cart = ShoppingCart.GetCart(this.HttpContext);
cart.CreateOrder(order);
//cart.CreateOrder(order1);
return RedirectToAction("Complete", new { id = order.SalesOrderID });
}
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
//Invalid - redisplay with errors
return View(order);
}
}
return View(order);
}
For my answer I assume that the properties PostalCode and PersonType are of type string and are defined as not nullable.
I think the error messages you get clearly say what the problem is. The properties PostalCode and PersonType are required, that means they need to have a value other than null.
So when you do not set the properties to a value other than null and you try to save your entity you will get the error messages.
To fix it you will net to set the properties to some values (maybe a default value) or you have to change your EntityModel to specify that these properties are nullable

[MaxLength(20,ErrorMessage = "Il toponimo deve contenere al massimo 20 caratteri")]
public string Toponimo { get; set; }
[MaxLength(50, ErrorMessage = "Il nome deve contenere al massimo 50 caratteri")]
public string Nome { get; set; }
}
when i make this query:
var query = breeze.EntityQuery.
from("Contribuenti").expand(["Residenze"], ["Strada"]);
the json response is:
[{"$id":"1","$type":"LarksTribUnico.Models.Contribuente, LarksTribUnico","Id":1,"Cognome":"Manuele","Nome":"Pagliarani","CodiceFiscale":"HSDJSHDKHSD","Residenze":[{"$id":"2","$type":"LarksTribUnico.Models.Residenza, LarksTribUnico","Id":5,"ContribuenteId":1,"Contribuente":{"$ref":"1"},"DataInizio":"2012-12-10T22.00.00.000","StradaId":4,"Strada":{"$id":"3","$type":"LarksTribUnico.Models.Strada, LarksTribUnico","Id":4,"Toponimo":"Via","Nome":"Milano"},"Civico":0}]}]
But in result of query "DataInizio" is always marked as "Invalid date".
Any idea aout the problem?
Thanks
Breeze server side converts SQL Server DateTime to ISO 8601. In my code (breeze v0.72) dates seem to end up in UTC in SQL, and get converted back to local somewhere in breeze.
Check the Breeze docs on dates. http://www.breezejs.com/documentation/date-time
or, as suggested in the breeze docs, you can add moment.js to your project if HotTowel does not. https://github.com/moment/moment
Moment recognizes the JSON you are describing.
A moment() is different than a JavaScript date, but it is easier to manipulate and parse.
This code you the current browser date from moment.
var now = window.moment().toDate();
This code demonstrates how to turn an ISO into a JavaScript Date object through moment.
// ISO 8601 datetime returned in JSON.
// In your code, you would pull it out of your the
// return variable in your dataservice.js
var DataInizio = "2012-12-10T22.00.00.000"
// convert your variable to a moment so you can parse it
var momentdatainizio = window.moment(DataInizio);
// convert the ISO to a javascript Date object so you can use it in js.
var mydate = window.moment(DataInizio).toDate();
Your Stada will end up in the breeze Metadata store which you use to populate your viewModel.
Retrieve the strada from the Metadata store or the database with something like this code in your dataservice.js. I am being a little more verbose than necessary so you can debug.
var getStrada = function (stradaId, callback) {
var query = EntityQuery.from("Strada")
.using(manager);
var pred = new breeze.Predicate("idd", "eq", stradaId);
// create the query
var queryb = query.where(pred);
// check the MetadataStore to see if you already have it
var localsession = queryb.executeLocally();
if (localsession) {
if (localsession.length > {
window.app.vm.strada.strada(data.results);
return localsession;
}
}
// get it from the server
else {
// return the promise to prevent blocking
// then set your viewModel when the query fulfills
// then make your callback if there is one
// handle the fail in your queryFailed function if there is a problem
return manager.executeQuery(queryb)
.then(function (data) {
window.app.vm.strada.strada(data.results);
})
.then(function () {
if ((typeof callback !== 'undefined' && callback !== null)) {
callback();
}
})
.fail(function () {
queryFailed();
});
}
};
Here is a fragment of a ko viewModel in strada.js
app.vm.strada = (function ($, ko, dataservice, router) {
var strada = ko.observable();
...
return {
strada : strada,
...
})($, ko, app.dataservice, app.router);
Here is the custom binding handler for knockout in the ko.bindingHandlers.js. This code is slightly verbose so you can debug the intermediate variables.
window.ko.bindingHandlers.DataInizio = {
// viewModel is a Strada
update: function (element, valueAccessor, allBindingsAccessor, viewModel) {
var value = valueAccessor(), allBindings = allBindingsAccessor();
var valueUnwrapped = window.ko.utils.unwrapObservable(value);
var $el = $(element);
if (valueUnwrapped.toString().indexOf('Jan 1') >= 0)
$el.text("Strada not Started");
else {
var date = new Date(valueUnwrapped);
var d = moment(date);
$el.text(d.format('MM/DD/YYYY'));
}
}
};
Here is the html for the binding handler

I wrote this code based upon my code using Breeze v0.72 which uses sammy.js as the router. Your mileage may vary with newer versions of breeze and Durandel.

Entity Framework , how to only validate specify property

I have a demo class "User" like the following:
public partial class User {
[Key]
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int ID { get; set; }
[StringLength(30)]
[Required]
public string LoginName { get; set; }
[StringLength(120)]
[Required]
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
public string Pwd { get; set; }
[StringLength(50)]
public string Phone { get; set; }
[StringLength(100)]
public string WebSite { get; set; }
...
...
}
As you can see, "LoginName" and "Pwd" are "Required".
Some time , I only want to update user's "WebSite" , So I do like this:
public void UpdateUser(User user , params string[] properties) {
this.rep.DB.Users.Attach(user);
this.rep.DB.Configuration.ValidateOnSaveEnabled = false;
var entry = this.rep.DB.Entry(user);
foreach(var prop in properties) {
var entProp = entry.Property(prop);
//var vas = entProp.GetValidationErrors();
entProp.IsModified = true;
}
this.rep.DB.SaveChanges();
this.rep.DB.Configuration.ValidateOnSaveEnabled = true;
}
Parameter "user" like this:
new User(){
ID = 1,
WebSite = "http://www.stackoverflow.com"
}
Notice , I don't specify "LoginName" and "Pwd"
This function can work fine , but I wouldn't set ValidateOnSaveEnabled to false.
Is there any way only validate "WebSite" when ValidateOnSaveEnabled is true?
Thanks.
As I know validation executed in SaveChanges always validates the whole entity. The trick to get selective validation for property is commented in your code but it is not part of the SaveChanges operation.
I get a solution.
First define PartialValidationManager:
public class PartialValidationManager {
private IDictionary<DbEntityEntry , string[]> dics = new Dictionary<DbEntityEntry , string[]>();
public void Register(DbEntityEntry entry , string[] properties) {
if(dics.ContainsKey(entry)) {
dics[entry] = properties;
} else {
dics.Add(entry , properties);
}
}
public void Remove(DbEntityEntry entry) {
dics.Remove(entry);
}
public bool IsResponsibleFor(DbEntityEntry entry) {
return dics.ContainsKey(entry);
}
public void ValidateEntity(DbEntityValidationResult result) {
var entry = result.Entry;
foreach(var prop in dics[entry]){
var errs = entry.Property(prop).GetValidationErrors();
foreach(var err in errs) {
result.ValidationErrors.Add(err);
}
}
}
}
2, Add this Manager to My DbContext:
public class XmjDB : DbContext {
public Lazy<PartialValidationManager> PartialValidation = new Lazy<PartialValidationManager>();
protected override System.Data.Entity.Validation.DbEntityValidationResult ValidateEntity(DbEntityEntry entityEntry , IDictionary<object , object> items) {
if(this.PartialValidation.Value.IsResponsibleFor(entityEntry)) {
var result = new DbEntityValidationResult(entityEntry , new List<DbValidationError>());
this.PartialValidation.Value.ValidateEntity(result);
return result;
} else
return base.ValidateEntity(entityEntry , items);
}
...
...
Update Method :
public void UpateSpecifyProperties(T t, params string[] properties) {
this.DB.Set<T>().Attach(t);
var entry = this.DB.Entry<T>(t);
this.DB.PartialValidation.Value.Register(entry , properties);
foreach(var prop in properties) {
entry.Property(prop).IsModified = true;
}
this.DB.SaveChanges();
this.DB.PartialValidation.Value.Remove(entry);
}
Ok, it work fine.
