I want to map an optional 1-to-1 relationship in an existing database with EF Code First.
Simple schema:
User
Username
ContactID
Contact
ID
Name
Obviously ContactID joins to Contact.ID. The ContactID field is nullable so the relationship is optional - 0 or 1, never many.
So how do I specify this relationship in EF Code First, with this existing schema?
Here's what I've tried so far:
public class User
{
[Key]
public string Username { get; set; }
public int? ContactID { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("ContactID")]
public virtual Contact Contact { get; set; }
}
public class Contact
{
[Key]
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public virtual User User { get; s开发者_如何学Cet; }
}
modelBuilder.Entity<User>().HasOptional<Contact>(u=> u.Contact)
.WithOptionalDependent(c => c.User);
I get the following Exception:
System.Data.Edm.EdmAssociationEnd: : Multiplicity is not valid in Role
'User_Contact_Source' in relationship 'User_Contact'. Because the Dependent
Role properties are not the key properties, the upper bound of the multiplicity
of the Dependent Role must be *.
One solution would be;
public class User
{
[Key]
public string Username { get; set; }
public virtual Contact Contact { get; set; }
}
public class Contact
{
[Key]
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public virtual User User { get; set; }
}
modelBuilder.Entity<User>()
.HasOptional<Contact>(u => u.Contact)
.WithOptionalDependent(c => c.User).Map(p => p.MapKey("ContactID"));
You set only your navigational objects in your POCOs and instead you use fluent API to map your key to the correct column.
