How do you insert foreign keys with Dynamic Data
I am having trouble with foreign keys Dynamic Data and entity framework 4.0. It feels like there is a problem with the entity association but I am not sure. I have multiple fields representing the foreign key on the insert page. When I try and insert data I get an error A dependent property in a ReferentialConstraint is mapped to a store-generated column. Column: 'CommentId'
My data is a very basic one to many relationship, the foreign key in question is BookId in the Comment Table.
Books
- BookId
- BookHref
Comments
- CommentId
- User
- Comment
- BookId
I create the FOREIGN KEY with the following sql script.
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Comments] WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Comments_Books] FOREIGN KEY([CommentId])
REFERENCES [dbo].[Books] ([BookId])
Entity Framework Generates the following XML
<EntityType Name="Books">
<Key>
<PropertyRef Name="BookId" />
</Key>
<Property Name="BookId" Type="int" Nullable="false" StoreGeneratedPattern="Identity" />
<Property Name="Title" Type="nvarchar" Nullable="false" MaxLength="255" />
<Property Name="Description" Type="nvarchar" Nullable="false" MaxLength="2000" />
<Property Name="Abstract" Type="nvarchar" />
<Property Name="UserName" Type="开发者_运维知识库nvarchar" Nullable="false" MaxLength="255" />
<Property Name="Image" Type="varbinary(max)" />
<Property Name="BookContent" Type="varbinary(max)" />
<Property Name="rowguid" Type="uniqueidentifier" Nullable="false" />
<Property Name="CreateDate" Type="datetime" />
<Property Name="ModifiedDate" Type="datetime" />
</EntityType>
<EntityType Name="Comments">
<Key>
<PropertyRef Name="CommentId" />
</Key>
<Property Name="CommentId" Type="int" Nullable="false" StoreGeneratedPattern="Identity" />
<Property Name="UserName" Type="nvarchar" Nullable="false" MaxLength="255" />
<Property Name="UserComment" Type="nvarchar" Nullable="false" />
<Property Name="BookId" Type="int" Nullable="false" />
</EntityType>
<Association Name="FK_Comments_Books">
<End Role="Books" Type="BookStoreModel.Store.Books" Multiplicity="1" />
<End Role="Comments" Type="BookStoreModel.Store.Comments" Multiplicity="0..1" />
<ReferentialConstraint>
<Principal Role="Books">
<PropertyRef Name="BookId" />
</Principal>
<Dependent Role="Comments">
<PropertyRef Name="CommentId" />
</Dependent>
</ReferentialConstraint>
</Association>
When I let the scaffolding do its thing, I get multiple fields representing the foreign key
I believe that FK should be:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Comments] WITH CHECK
ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Comments_Books] FOREIGN KEY([BookId])
REFERENCES [dbo].[Books] ([BookId])
You defined it on CommentId
which creates 1:1 relation between Comment
and Book
and your BookId
column in Comment
is not used at all.
