I have two model classes "customerdetails" and "addresssdetails".my question is "one customer can save with multiple addresss?
namespace customer2.Models
{
public class customerdetails
{
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int id { set; get; }
[Key]
public int customerid { set; get; }
public string customername { set; get; }
}
public class addressdetails
{
public int addressno { set; get; }
public string street { set; get; }
public string landmark { set; get; }
public int pincode { set; get; }
}
public class MkContext : DbContext
{
public virtual DbSet<customerdetails> customers { get; set; }
public virtual DbSet<addressdetails> address { get; set; }
}
public class customerviewmodel
{
public customerdetails cd { set; get; }
public List<addressdetails> ad { set; get; }
}
}
Before I answer, just a quick tip:
Make sure to properly case your class names and properties to improve readability.
Here is a link with some guidelines
If you want to store a Customer with multiple AddressDetails, you will need to define a class and add it to the context.
public class Customer {
public int Id { get; set; }
public CustomerDetails CustomerDetails { get; set; }
public IList<AddressDetails> AddressDetails { get; set; }
}
Then add this to the context.

I have asked question in a different post, but seems that was not the right question, so going to reword here:
I have three classes:
public class StateLog : BaseModel
{
public Guid StateLogId { get; set; }
public Guid LookupMasterId { get; set; }
public Guid EntityId { get; set; }
public string Discriminator { get; set; }
public bool IsActive { get; set; }
public virtual LookupMaster State { get; set; }
}
Second class:
public class ApplicationState : StateLog
{
[Column("EntityId")]
public Guid ApplicationId { get; set; }
}
There is another Class DocumentStates which inherits from StateLog.
Application:
public class Application : BaseModel
{
public Guid ApplicationId { get; set; }
public Guid UserId { get; set; }
public virtual User User { get; set; }
[Required]
public Guid ApplicationTypeId { get; set; }
public bool? AuthorizedToWork { get; set; } = false;
public string Token { get; set; }
public string ApplicationTitle { get; set; }
public string WorkStartDate { get; set; }
public Nullable<DateTime> SignedAt { get; set; } = DateTime.Now;
public bool? Signed { get; set; }
public string Notes { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<ApplicationSelfDeclaration> ApplicationSelfDeclarations { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<ApplicationState> ApplicationStates { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<StateLog> StateLogs { get; set; }
}
I am trying to save statelogs for both application and documents in same table and based on Discriminator, fetch data.
E.g.
_context.Applications.include(a => a.ApplicationState)
This is not not working. ApplicationState should Alias EntityId column as ApplicationId. But it is not working.
Any idea what my options are at this point?
Thanks in advance.
I am using this tutorial from microsoft to create a one-zero-to-one relationship with EF4.1 Between an Instructor and OfficeAssignment. This is working like a charm.
But now I want to add a Home for each Instructor (1 to zero-or-1) like in this:
I added the Home model exactly the same way as the OfficeAssignment (like in the tutorial above), but when I try to add controllers for these model, I get the error "An item with the same name has already been added".
So my model is set up incorrectly.
What is wrong with the below?
How do I create multiple one-to-zero-to-one relationships in EF4.1?
public class Instructor
{
public Int32 InstructorID { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string FirstMidName { get; set; }
public virtual OfficeAssignment OfficeAssignment { get; set; }
public virtual Home Home { get; set; }
}
public class OfficeAssignment
{
[Key]
public int InstructorID { get; set; }
public string Location { get; set; }
public virtual Instructor Instructor { get; set; }
}
public class Home
{
[Key]
public int InstructorID { get; set; }
public string Location { get; set; }
public virtual Instructor Instructor { get; set; }
}
public class Context : DbContext
{
public DbSet<OfficeAssignment> OfficeAssignments { get; set; }
public DbSet<Instructor> Instructors { get; set; }
public DbSet<Home> Homes { get; set; }
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<PluralizingTableNameConvention>();
modelBuilder.Entity<Instructor>()
.HasOptional(p => p.OfficeAssignment)
.WithRequired(p => p.Instructor);
modelBuilder.Entity<Instructor>()
.HasOptional(p => p.Home).WithRequired(p => p.Instructor);
}
Doesn't look like EF supports real 1 to 0..1 relationship. You need a foreign key. And add the optional (int?) into the main model.
So I did this as follow, and it works like a charm.
public class Instructor
{
public Int InstructorID { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string FirstMidName { get; set; }
public int? OfficeAssignmentID { get; set; }
public virtual OfficeAssignment OfficeAssignment { get; set; }
public int? HomeID { get; set; }
public virtual Home Home { get; set; }
}
public class OfficeAssignment
{
public int OfficeAssignmentID { get; set; }
public string Location { get; set; }
}
public class Home
{
public int HomeID { get; set; }
public string Location { get; set; }
}
which is the best way or if you have seen an example of which is the best way or a way to display to the user a view with this model and if you have and link example will be better
public class Student
{
public int StudentID { get; set; }
public string FirstMidName { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Enrollment> Enrollments { get; set; }
}
public class Enrollment
{
public int EnrollmentID { get; set; }
public int CourseID { get; set; }
public int StudentID { get; set; }
public decimal? Grade { get; set; }
public virtual Course Course { get; set; }
public virtual Student Student { get; set; }
}
public class Course
{
public int CourseID { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Enrollment> Enrollments { get; set; }
}
Today I've been working with MVC for the first time. Also normally I use the EF with model first, but I wanted to try POCO.
So I've made my 3 entities and when I try to make a controller I get an error:
Unable to retrieve metadata for "BookExchange.Models.Exchange". Unable to determine the principal end of an association between the types "BookExchange.Models.Exchange" and "BookExchange.Models.Book". The principal end of this association must be explicitly configured using either the relationship fluent API or data annotations.
My 3 classes:
public class Book
{
public int BookID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Author { get; set; }
public string ISBN10 { get; set; }
public int PersonID { get; set; }
public virtual Person Person { get; set; }
public virtual Exchange Exchange { get; set; }
}
public class Person
{
public int PersonID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Book> Books { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Exchange> Exchanges { get; set; }
}
public class Exchange
{
[Key]
public int BookID { get; set; }
public int PersonID { get; set; }
public DateTime ReturnDate { get; set; }
public virtual Person Person { get; set; }
public virtual Book Book { get; set; }
}
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I don't want to lose the association properties.
Thanks in advance!
Try adding foreign key properties for your references. E.g.
public class Book
{
public int BookID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Author { get; set; }
public string ISBN10 { get; set; }
public virtual Person Person { get; set; }
public int PersonID { get; set; }
public virtual Exchange Exchange { get; set; }
public int ExchangeID { get; set; }
}
public class Person
{
public int PersonID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Book> Books { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Exchange> Exchanges { get; set; }
}
public class Exchange
{
public int ExchangeID { get; set; }
public int BookID { get; set; }
public virtual Book Book { get; set; }
public int PersonID { get; set; }
public virtual Person Person { get; set; }
public DateTime ReturnDate { get; set; }
}
Also, take a look at ScottGu's post on code first and this EF post on conventions.
Try this: (Remove database, so EF will create new)
public class Book
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Author { get; set; }
public string ISBN { get; set; }
public virtual Person Person { get; set; }
public virtual Exchange Exchange { get; set; }
}
public class Person
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Book> Books { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Exchange> Exchanges { get; set; }
}
public class Exchange
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public DateTime ReturnDate { get; set; }
public virtual Person Person { get; set; }
public virtual Book Book { get; set; }
}
It's your one on one associations.
Remove one reference between exchange or book, so Code-first can decide which one is more important in your one on one relation (Book <--> Exchange)
If you want to know why, you should read this:

public String UserRole { get; set; }
public DateTime DateOfCreation{ get; set;}
}
//Match,Custom,Choice classes have been omitted for lack of space (which sounds stupid when i look at the amount of code i have pasted )
I have two problems:-
I cant get a foreign key relation between standard and subjects,it says the relation will cause several cascade delete paths...
if I make a foreign key rlation between test and usedetail it gives me the above problem for mapping the tst_question table .
Also since I am new to EF code first ,please point out my mistakes.all help and disccussion is welcome.
By default EF will create foreign keys will cascade delete. In your model if you delete a Standard there are multiple paths to delete the QuestionDescriptor.
Standard -> QuestionDescriptor
and
Standard -> Subject -> QuestionDescriptor
That is why SQL server does not allow you to do this. See this answer for more details
What you can do is explicitly tell EF to create foreign keys without cascade delete. But this may create data integrity problems. So make sure you understand the consequences.
What you can do is configure the relationships using fluent API with WillCascadeOnDelete(false).
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
//other mappings
modelBuilder.Entity<Subject>()
.HasRequired(subject => subject.Standard).WithMany()
.HasForeignKey(subject => subject.StandardId)
.WillCascadeOnDelete(false);
}
