Entity Framework -Update Entity When Another Entity Is Updated
Jun 30, 2010I have an EDM, it includes the entities extension and history. My goal is to use history to keep track of all the changes made to extension entity. For example, if extension with ID 223 has its property 'Name_Display' changed - I want the history entity to record this.
I'm using ASP.NET with VB.NET. Where in my code do I put the hook to say, "update the history entity" and what should that hook look like?

MVC :: Using Data From Multiple Entity Framework4 Model Entity Objects In MVC2 Controller?
Sep 29, 2010getting data from multiple Entities models into an MVC controller. Most of the examples I have seen for using EF in an MVC2 app only use a single entitiy.
I have just started using MVC2 in C# using the Entity Framework models (CIOps.model) created from an SQL database. I can create the controller and views using single tables of the model in MVC2, but I just cannot get my head around how to get data from multiple entity tables into the controller (similar to joins in T-SQL). I have included an example below of the controller code that works with a single entity table, tbl_tours (tbl_tour in DB).
Could someone please illustrate how this code would be changed to include additional columns from FK tables in addition to tbl_tours columns. E.g. the clients name from the tbl_clients, the coordinators name from the tbl_employees, and costs from tbl_costs entities? Is it possible to do this directly using the EF model entities/classes that are already created and not use LINQ, POCO, Repositories, etc.? The FK relationships are already in the EF models. I have included the whole controller code, but I just need a few examples of how to join the multiple entities, not rewrite every CRUD function function in the controller. I think this will get me over the hump in using EF in an MVC2 App. Also ignore the fact I am using the home controller, this will change in the application.

Cast Exception When Try To Insert Entity In Entity Framework (using Code-f)
Feb 9, 2011I get an cast exception when i am trying to insert an entity in Entity Framework (using code-first). From this code :

{
return Context.Set<T>().Add(entity);
}
The cast exception is like "impossible to cast ...Collection'1(Entity) to type (Entity)" I can't figure out why. I am pretty sure ive done everything right. Post entity

ADO.NET :: Entity Framework - Entity Stored Procedure Mapping - Can't Update
Feb 10, 2011I am mapping a stored procedure to an entity by right clicking on the entity (in the .edmx) and selecting "Stored Procedure Mapping." This brings you to a Mapping Details - "Name of Entity" Window that allows you to select the insert, update, and delete stored procedures associated with the Entity. It also maps the stored procedure parameter to the Entity "Property" (Column).
I'm gettin an error "error 2042: Parameter Mapping specified is not valid." The cause of the error is fairly obvious, in the Insert stored procedure that has been selected, a 'CHAR' parameter is being mapped to an Int32 Entity Property. I altered the stored procedure parameter to match the entity, I deleted the stored procedure, readded, and reslected it as the Insert function. I also cleaned, validated, updated model from database. No matter what I do, the parameter list in the mapping details doesn't reflect the change to the stored procedure. It's stuck on a char --> int32 mapping, even though it has been changed, like it's buried deep in meta data some where.

ADO.NET :: Entity Framework Copy Entity And Change PK And Save Old And New
Mar 31, 2011I have a stupid problem with the Entity Framework. I get the following Exception:
[Code]....
I have an entity with a 4 fields representing the primary key. I copy it via serialization (works fine). I set the old entity to not valid (Datefield set to a date in the past, this field is part of the PK) and set the copied entity to DateTime.Now.Date. When I call context.AddObject I get the Exception above. I tried copying the entity via reflection but the entity has 3-4 references. And when copied, I get another Exception before even Adding the entity to the context. I also tried setting newObj.EntityKey = null and reset all the fields neccessary for the PK. I just want a whole copy of an entity with a different primary key (and some other fields changed too) and Create it in the database.

Exporting Entity Framework 4 Data Model To Entity Framework 3.5?
Oct 25, 2010Is there a way to export a EF 4.0 Data Model to EF 3.5?

Our project is the 1st to go to .Net 4.0 using Entity Framework and we (the team) were wondering if there was a way for the other projects that "might" need to access our data that are still using the .Net 3.5 framework.

C# - Cannot Add An Entity With A Key That Is Already In Use?
Sep 15, 2010I'm having a bit of trouble trying to add an object to the database using LINQ to SQL.
I have three tables in my database:
--------------------------------------------
tblShows
--------------------------------------------
ShowID | Name
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
tblShowEvents
--------------------------------------------
ShowEventID | ShowID | Name
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
tblShowEventAttendees
--------------------------------------------
ShowEventAttendeeID | ShowEventID | Name
--------------------------------------------
A Show has many Events, and each Event has many Attendees.
I have a page where I'm creating a Show. On the page, I'm adding Events to the Show, and Attendees to each Event, and then saving the show all at once.
Here is my code:
Show show = new Show();
show.Name = txtName.Text.Trim();
//add ShowEvents to Show
//showEventsList is a variable containing a List of ShowEvents
foreach (ShowEvent ev in showEventsList)
{
show.ShowEvents.Add(new ShowEvent
{
ShowID = show.ShowID,
Name = ev.Name
});
}
//Add ShowEventAttendees to each ShowEvent
//attendeesList is a variable containing a List of ShowEventAttendees
foreach (ShowEvent ev in show.ShowEvents)
{
foreach (ShowEventAttendee attendee in attendeesList)
{
ev.ShowEventAttendees.Add(new ShowEventAttendee
{
ShowEventID = ev.ShowEventID,
Name = attendee.Name
});
}
}
AppDataContext.DataContext.Shows.InsertOnSubmit(show);
AppDataContext.DataContext.SubmitChanges();
The issue occurs in the second foreach loop. If I take it out, the Show and ShowEvents get added to the database correctly.
What's the issue here?
EDIT for Jay:
I've tried this now:
AppDataContext.DataContext.Shows.InsertOnSubmit(show);
AppDataContext.DataContext.SubmitChanges();
//Add ShowEventAttendees to each ShowEvent
//attendeesList is a variable containing a List of ShowEventAttendees
foreach (ShowEvent ev in show.ShowEvents)
{
foreach (ShowEventAttendee attendee in attendeesList)
{
ev.ShowEventAttendees.Add(new ShowEventAttendee
{
ShowEventID = ev.ShowEventID,
Name = attendee.Name
});
}
}
AppDataContext.DataContext.SubmitChanges(); //trying to update, error here
But I get the same error on that last line. Going through the debugger, ShowEventID is no longer 0, but I'm getting the same error.
ADO.NET :: How To Delete Associated Entity
Mar 1, 2011I have a project with EF4 e poco templated entity. I need to delete a User entity that is associated via foreign key referential constraint to UsersinRoles and Profile entities in this way:
User 1:1 Profile
User 1:many UsersinRoles
On msdn I've found that: "When a primary key of the principal entity is part of the primary key of the dependent entity, then deleting the principal object also deletes all the loaded dependent objects. This is the same as defining the cascading delete rules on the relationship" So I can guess that deleting the User entity will delete the other two entities as well. so I call the delete method on user entity:
[Code]....
and the Usersinroles entities are deleted correctly instead of Profile that lives as an orphan in the db. what can I check to make it work correctly?

ADO.NET :: Use Entity As A Datasource?
Mar 16, 2011I use the listview control a lot. I'm rewriting a website, and using the Entity Framework. I know how to use the EntityDataSource, but I would like to bind the listview in the code behind. if I have something like this:
Dim friend = (From f In context.prFriends _
Select f).FirstOrDefault
ListView1.DataSource = friend
ListView1,DataBind()
The above gives me the following error: Data source is an invalid type. It must be either an IListSource, IEnumerable, or IDataSource.
With LinqToSql I dould do
ListView1.DataSource = friend.toList
But that doesn't seem to be an option with Entity. How can I do this?
