My entity AppUser has an optional UserProfile, and UserProfile as a required AppUser. I would like to have a foreign key to each other.
public class AppUser
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public UserProfile UserProfile { get; set; }
public int? UserProfileId { get; set; }
}
public class UserProfile
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string SomeUserProfileValue { get; set; }
public AppUser AppUser { get; set; }
public int AppUserId { get; set; }
}
I got this mapping:
modelBuilder.Entity<AppUser>().HasOptional(x => x.UserProfile).WithRequired(x => x.AppUser)
This generate the following migration. I notice there is no foreign key from AppUser to UserProfile. Also the foreignkey in UserProfile is defined on UserProfile.Id ... I want it on UserProfile.AppUserId.
public override void Up()
{
CreateTable(
"dbo.AppUsers",
c => new
{
Id = c.Int(nullable: false, identity: true),
Name = c.String(),
UserProfileId = c.Int(),
})
.PrimaryKey(t => t.Id);
CreateTable(
"dbo.UserProfiles",
c => new
{
Id = c.Int(nullable: false),
SomeUserProfileValue = c.String(),
AppUserId = c.Int(nullable: false),
})
.PrimaryKey(t => t.Id)
.ForeignKey("dbo.AppUsers", t => t.Id)
.Index(t => t.Id);
}
So I tried to change the mapping configuration as follow
modelBuilder.Entity<AppUser>().HasOptional(x => x.UserProfile).WithRequired(x => x.AppUser)
.Map(c => c.MapKey("AppUserId"));
But now when I try to add the migration i get the error:
AppUserId: Name: Each property name in a type must be unique. Property name 'AppUserId' is already defined.
This seems to complain that I have a field AppUserId already defined in my model.
This is how we define our entities, we always include both the class and the id fields, gives more flexibility as to which to use under different circumstances.
So I'm a bit stuck here... is there any way to have this 1:1 bidirectional relation while having both class and the id fields defined in the model ?
And why there is no nullable foreign key generated in the AppUser table ?
I've generally found better results with DataAnnotations, myself. So:
public class AppUser
{
[Key]
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public int? UserProfileId { get; set; }
[ForeignKey = "UserProfileId"]
public UserProfile UserProfile { get; set; }
}
public class UserProfile
{
[Key]
public int Id { get; set; }
public string SomeUserProfileValue { get; set; }
public int AppUserId { get; set; }
[ForeignKey = "AppUserId"]
public AppUser AppUser { get; set; }
}

public class Admin : EntityTypeConfiguration<Admin>
{
//[ForeignKey("Blog")] -- If I enable this, it compiles
public int AdminId { get; set; }
public string AdminName { get; set; }
public string AdminPicture { get; set; }
//[Required] -- Or If I enable this, it compiles
public virtual Blog Blog { get; set; }
}
public class Blog : EntityTypeConfiguration<Blog>
{
public int BlogId { get; set; }
public string BlogName { get; set; }
public string BlogUrl { get; set; }
public virtual Admin Admin { get; set; }
public Blog()
{
HasRequired(a => a.Admin).WithRequiredPrincipal(b=>b.Blog);
}
}
As long as I am defining HasRequired and WithRequiredPrincipal keys, why VS still creates below error.
Unable to determine the principal end of an association between the types 'Dummy.Models.Blog' and 'Dummy.Models.Admin'. The principal end of this association must be explicitly configured using either the relationship fluent API or data annotations.
Second thing is, even I enable [Required] or [ForeingKey] attr., in edmx designer, I only see 1 - 0..1 But I must see 1 - 1 (both end required)
1-1 relationship is not possible at database level, because you can't insert two rows at the same time. 1-1 is only possible at class validation level.
To make a 1-1 relationship, the primary key of the dependant entity must be the foreign key of the principal entity; that's the only way to make a 1-1 relationship. So, you have to make the following changes (considering that you are using EF Code First):
public class Admin
{
public int AdminId { get; set; }
public string AdminName { get; set; }
public string AdminPicture { get; set; }
public virtual Blog Blog { get; set; }
}
Blog should not have its own BlogId, because a blog belongs to an admin, and the admin can have only one blog (1-1 relationship). If you create a BlogId, with an AdminId FK, you would be making a 1-n relationship. Furthermore, do not mix the entity class with the mapping class, they should be different things. See the example below:
public class Blog
{
public int AdminId { get; set; } //PK AND FK
public string BlogName { get; set; }
public string BlogUrl { get; set; }
public virtual Admin Admin { get; set; }
}
Creating the relationship with a mapping class:
public class BlogMapping : EntityTypeConfiguration<Blog>
{
public BlogMapping()
{
HasKey(i => i.AdminId);
HasRequired(a => a.Admin)
.WithRequiredDependent(i => i.Blog);
}
}
Register the mapping inside the dbContext class:
public class MyDbContext : DbContext
{
public DbSet<Admin> Admins { get; set; }
public DbSet<Blog> Blogs { get; set; }
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.Configurations.Add(new BlogMapping());
}
}
This will generate the following migration:
CreateTable(
"dbo.Admins",
c => new
{
AdminId = c.Int(nullable: false, identity: true),
AdminName = c.String(),
AdminPicture = c.String(),
})
.PrimaryKey(t => t.AdminId);
CreateTable(
"dbo.Blogs",
c => new
{
AdminId = c.Int(nullable: false),
BlogName = c.String(),
BlogUrl = c.String(),
})
.PrimaryKey(t => t.AdminId)
.ForeignKey("dbo.Admins", t => t.AdminId)
.Index(t => t.AdminId);
Hope this helps!
I am battling with EF code first and trying to map a 1:1 relationship with no joy.
Basically a user can have a userdetail.
I am setting primary keys on both tables.On my UserDetail table has field UserId I am trying to use as the FK.
public class User:BaseModel
{
public virtual UserDetail UserDetail { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
}
public class UserDetail:BaseModel
{
public virtual User User { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("User")]
public int UserId { get; set; }
public string UserDetailName { get; set; }
}
public class BaseModel{
[Key]
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int Id { get; set; }
}
When I try using the add-migration command I get this error
UserDetail_User_Source: : Multiplicity is not valid in Role 'UserDetail_User_Source' in relationship 'UserDetail_User'. Because the Dependent Role properties are not the key properties, the upper bound of the multiplicity of the Dependent Role must be '*'.
What do I need to do to get this working? Surely this shouldnt be that difficult?
Update below based on comment from #steve-green
I configured the fluentapi like steve suggested
modelBuilder.Entity<User>()
.HasRequired(t => t.UserDetail)
.WithRequiredPrincipal(t => t.User);
however the generated migration step looks wrong to me
CreateTable(
"dbo.Users",
c => new
{
UserId = c.Int(nullable: false, identity: true),
UserName = c.String(),
})
.PrimaryKey(t => t.UserId);
CreateTable(
"dbo.UserDetails",
c => new
{
UserDetailId = c.Int(nullable: false, identity: true),
UserId = c.Int(nullable: false),
UserDetailName = c.String(),
})
.PrimaryKey(t => t.UserDetailId)
.ForeignKey("dbo.Users", t => t.UserDetailId)
.Index(t => t.UserDetailId);
The FK is configured as UserDetailId shouldnt it be UserId?
Slightly modified model
public class UserDetail
{
[Key]
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int UserDetailId { get; set; }
public virtual User User { get; set; }
public int UserId { get; set; }
public string UserDetailName { get; set; }
}
Get rid of the attribute
[ForeignKey("User")
in UserDetail. Also, i would add
int UserDetailId
to User
That should then work.
If you are going to use a base table, then you can't do it with annotations because (as you mention) the key on the required dependent needs to be a foreign key. You will need fluent api code:
modelBuilder.Entity<User>()
.HasRequired(t => t.UserDetail)
.WithRequiredPrincipal(t => t.User);

I have the following classes
public class Order {
[Key]
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int ID { get; set; }
[Required]
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
[Required]
[MaxLength(100)]
public string From { get; set; }
public int? TreatGuestEntryID { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("TreatGuestEntryID")]
public TreatedGuestEntry TreatGuestEntry { get; set; }
...
public class TreatedGuestEntry {
[Key]
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int ID { get; set; }
[MaxLength(200)]
public string Company { get; set; }
public string TypeOfTreat { get; set; }
This works as expected - in my Orders table it creates the foreign key.
Now I want to add an inverse property in TreatedGuestEntry for the order.
The best (at least somehow working) result I get when I add
modelBuilder.Entity<TreatedGuestEntry>()
.HasOptional(a => a.Order)
.WithOptionalDependent(a => a.TreatGuestEntry)
.Map(a=>a.MapKey("TreatGuestEntryID"));
and further rename the key of TreatedGuestEntry to TreatGuestEntryID.
But I get no relation in the database and also TreatGuestEntryID in the table Order is no longer a key (FK).
My approach in simple words:
In my Order I want an optional TreatedGuestEntry (and I need access to the foreign key) - and further in the related TreatedGuestEntry I want to access the Order.
In your case, the FK TreatGuestEntryID is not a PK, it means that it is a 1:n relationship. So, you have to put a Collection of Order on the other side:
public class Order
{
[Key]
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int ID { get; set; }
[Required]
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
[Required]
[MaxLength(100)]
public string From { get; set; }
public int? TreatGuestEntryID { get; set; }
public TreatedGuestEntry TreatGuestEntry { get; set; }
}
public class TreatedGuestEntry
{
[Key]
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int ID { get; set; }
[MaxLength(200)]
public string Company { get; set; }
public string TypeOfTreat { get; set; }
public ICollection<Order> Orders { get; set; }
}
Mapping:
modelBuilder.Entity<Order>()
.HasOptional(i => i.TreatGuestEntry)
.WithMany(i => i.Orders)
.HasForeignKey(i => i.TreatGuestEntryID)
.WillCascadeOnDelete(false);
Generated Migration:
CreateTable(
"dbo.Orders",
c => new
{
ID = c.Int(nullable: false, identity: true),
Date = c.DateTime(nullable: false),
From = c.String(nullable: false, maxLength: 100),
TreatGuestEntryID = c.Int(),
})
.PrimaryKey(t => t.ID)
.ForeignKey("dbo.TreatedGuestEntries", t => t.TreatGuestEntryID)
.Index(t => t.TreatGuestEntryID);
CreateTable(
"dbo.TreatedGuestEntries",
c => new
{
ID = c.Int(nullable: false, identity: true),
Company = c.String(maxLength: 200),
TypeOfTreat = c.String(),
})
.PrimaryKey(t => t.ID);

I have found much answers here but no one from them works. I have spend a few hours trying to make it work. I know that Entity Framework must enable cascade delete when there is one-to-many relation, but it didn't
Entity Framework doesn't apply cascade deletion with TPT (Table Per Type) inheritance. You can solve this with Code Fist migrations:
CreateTable(
"dbo.Treats",
c => new
{
TreatId = c.Int(nullable: false, identity: true),
DoctorUserId = c.Int(nullable: false),
PatientUserId = c.Int(nullable: false),
})
.PrimaryKey(t => t.TreatId)
.ForeignKey("dbo.Doctor", t => t.DoctorUserId, cascadeDelete: true)
.ForeignKey("dbo.Patient", t => t.PatientUserId, cascadeDelete: true)
.Index(t => t.DoctorUserId)
.Index(t => t.PatientUserId);
The important part is cascadeDelete: true. You have to manually add it after migration code generation. After that you will have cascade deletion in your database:
FOREIGN KEY ([DoctorUserId]) REFERENCES [dbo].[Doctor] ([UserID]) ON DELETE CASCADE,
FOREIGN KEY ([PatientUserId]) REFERENCES [dbo].[Patient] ([UserID]) ON DELETE CASCADE
What are the step to convert/migrate a model property into a navigation property (create a new class and create a foreign key relationship, using EF Code First Migration.
In the example below, I want to convert the Student class property Country into a navigational property, without losing in data.
Current Model
public class Student
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
}
Proposed Model
public class Student
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public int CountryID { get; set; }
public virtual Country Country { get; set; }
}
public class Country
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
}
Add-Migration NavigationProperty
public override void Up()
{
CreateTable(
"dbo.Countries",
c => new
{
ID = c.Int(nullable: false, identity: true),
CountryName = c.String(),
})
.PrimaryKey(t => t.ID);
AddColumn("dbo.Students", "CountryID", c => c.Int(nullable: false));
CreateIndex("dbo.Students", "CountryID");
AddForeignKey("dbo.Students", "CountryID", "dbo.Countries", "ID", cascadeDelete: true);
DropColumn("dbo.Students", "Country");
}
Update-Database Error
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_dbo.Students_dbo.Countries_CountryID". The conflict occurred in database "aspnet-navprop-20141009041805", table "dbo.Countries", column 'ID'.
