Code first One way many to many relationship using data annotation - entity-framework

Question

I have two models in my application: Stock and Report. A report can have many stocks and a stock can be used in many reports.
public enum ElectionType
{
MANAGER =1 ,
INSPECTOR ,
BOTH
}
public class Report
{
public Report()
{
Stocks = new List<Stock>();
}
public int ReportID { get; set; }
[Required]
public DateTime ShamsiDate { get; set; }
public int? StockID { get; set; }
[Required]
public ElectionType ElectionType { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("StockID")]
public virtual ICollection<Stock> Stocks { get; set;}
}
public class Stock
{
[Key]
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int StockID { get; set; }
public int FinancialCode { get; set; }
public String NationalCode { get; set; }
public String FirstName { get; set; }
public String LastName { get; set; }
public String FatherName { get; set; }
public String Place { get; set; }
public int StockCount { get; set; }
public int StockPrice { get; set; }
public int StockSize { get; set; }
public int StartStock { get; set; }
public int EndStock { get; set; }
}
I want to create a one way relationship so there is no way to access a Report from a Stock. I have written this code but it doesn't work.

Answer 1

To do it with annotations you will need a junction table:
public class ReportStock
{
[Key, Column(Order = 1)]
public int ReportID { get; set; }
[Key, Column(Order = 2)]
public int StockID { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("ReportID")]
public virtual Report Report { get; set;}
[ForeignKey("StockID")]
public virtual Stock Stock { get; set;}
}
Then change your Report class:
public class Report
{
public Report()
{
ReportStocks = new List<ReportStock>();
}
public int ReportID { get; set; }
[Required]
public DateTime ShamsiDate { get; set; }
[Required]
public ElectionType ElectionType { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<ReportStock> ReportStocks { get; set;}
}
