ADO.NET :: Foreign Key Not Mapping In .edmx?
Nov 16, 2010
So I am working with a database and am trying to get my model code working.I have a situation where I have a table called accounts that for simplicity has 3 columns
accountid, accounttype, parentid
basically its a parent child relationship. if parentid is null its a parent, its not its a child of the accountid.Im running into problems getting the .edmx file mapping. parentid is a foriegn key on the table.
how can access the parentid column? i can see it in account navigation account1 but Im not sure how to get access to it in my linq query

I recently started explore MVC and just tried some samples around, i.e. MvcMusicStore.
As the sample DB in MvcMusicStore is quite small, I am wondering how should I design the edmx/entity for a bigger database, let say for an enterprise application, which has more than 20 tables as in AdventureWorks?
Thus, the question is should I include all in one edmx/entity or I should include multiple edmx/entities when I designing the model?

My Question is can we extend one context to another in Entity Framework 4. Following is the problem background.
I am using EF4 for developing a Web-Application. My Web Application has 3 projects.
One project is for storing candidate CV information.
Another project is for storing customer information.
Final project is called CORE. this CORE contains a edmx file that should be extended by CV and CRM.
As an example email address table can be shared by both customer (CRM) and CV. To share one table with another, we should be able to extend one context (CV context) with other context (customer context). Could some one having experience using Entity Framework share your experience with me to find whether this is possible.
We have 3 edmx files in three class libraries:
Person class library(Core) with core.edmx-Basic details related to a person(name, email) CV Class library with CV.edmx wich have CV related data(Experiance,skills) Customer Relationship management system(CRM) which have customer data(sales data...)
Then we want to use core class library edmx file(Core.edmx) with cv.edmx (basically cv tables should be able to use tables from core tables) . Same way we want to use the core.edmx with CRM.edmx for the 3 rd project

1 - Is it necessary to have foreign key to obtain a Relation in Entity Framework between each entity.?
2 - I have a Language Table and many many table with a foreign key related to the language table. Is it right to add this foreign key or I should do something else ?

Language
LangID
LangName
TableTextA
TblAID

When I add a column to my database my .edmx is not updated when I use the 'UPDATE MODEL FROM DATABASE' context menu. No matter what I do the .edmx file is never reflective of the added column. I tried to close the project and reopen it, no luck. I closed the vwd 2010 and restarted it, no luck. I finally decided to delete and rebuild the .edmx file from scratch. This is when I finally had success of viewing the added colum in the .edmx display, even though the added colum showed all along in the Database Explorer? Could there possibly be a hotfix or something that I am missing either for SQL 2008 R2 or VS 2010 VWD?
Also my Movie.cs file which carries the 'partial call Movie' as outlined in the tutorial and the namespace Movies.Models, is not produceing the [Required(Errormsg:...)] against the Title field. When I look thru Movies.Designer.cs, I have identical namespace of Movies.Model and the class Partial Movie enties present. I am not at all sure why there is no recognition between the two modules resulting in a valid client validation check?

I am using Entity Framework. I added a table, say Table A, to the edmx file. Since the table was modified by adding a column, say col, I had to make the changes in the edmx file also. I rightclicked the table and clicked 'Add scalar property' and added the column. But I don't know how to map it. Now an error is coming. Property 'Col' is not mapped.

When I try to add a new stored procedure to an EDMX file, I try to get the column information for a complex type, I get the following error and can not register the stored procedure:
An exception of type Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.sdk.sfc.EnumeratorException occured while attempting to get column information. The Exception is:
ExecuteScalar requires an open and available connection. The connection's current state is closed. The inner exception caught was of type System.InvalidOperationException withthis message: Execute scalr required an open and ready connection.
I cann ot add the new stored procedure but everything compiles fine.

I have a problem registering a stored procedure in the EDMX file in my web application. When I try to add the function, I have the message:
"No Database connection is defined for this model"
All the buttons are also disabled. If I click on the white spaces to get the properties of edmx file, the connection string is blank. I am not sure how this came about. Everything compiles and runs I can add tables and views but not Stored procedures. I created a test project from the scratch and added a new edmx file and I was able to add the stored procedure. i nthe new project the connection string is defined. Connection strings are defined in the web.cnofig. I suspect that somehow the edmx file or project got corrupted.

I need to know if I've done something wrong, or if the message I'm getting is nothing about which to be alarmed.I'm getting "The relationship '....' has columns that are not part of the key of the table on the primary side of the relation ship which is not supported, the relationship was excluded.
I built four tables, each with one foreign key. I'm assuming I haven't done anything wrong or unusual with my four tables (SQL statements generating the tables are shown below).However, I don't get any lines connecting tables together and all the examples I've seen today seem to have no problem with drawing the connecting lines all over the place.

I have a web project with a data model defined in an edmx file. The connection string starts like this:
metadata=res://*/;
This has worked fine for a while. But somebody else working on the project created a dll that also uses the entity framework and added it to the bin folder. Now when I try to create my connection there is an error loading the metadata.
Aside from totally changing the way one or both of us is doing things, I wonder if the problem can be fixed if my connection string can be changed to only look for the metadata defined in my edmx file. The problem is, for the life of me I can't find the right syntax to do this. The metadata is embedded in the output assembly, so there are no physical metadata files to point to. How exactly should I specify the metadata location in the connection string?

I would like to make some changes to my EF4 edmx file without modifying the file itself, mainly so I don't loose all my changes if I regenerate the model from the database. I'm familiar with XSL and have seen references made to using it in conjunction with the edmx file. This sounds like a great solution, however I can't seem to find any documentation on how to actually set this up. Do you reference the style sheet from the edmx file or do you configure it to look at the template and then load the edmx file in somehow?
Clarification:
Specifically what I'm trying to do is modify the model so that several of the views act as tables with relations within the model, see here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/alexj/archive/2009/09/01/tip-34-how-to-work-with-updatable-views.aspx
The issue I'll have in using that method is if I need to update the database and regenerate the model I'll have to go back and make all of those changes again, I was hoping there was a way to use xslt to make those changes to the views so they would not be removed when the model is regenerated.

We've added a new column to a database table. The column is defined as follows:
Name: DisplayAsSoldOut
Type: Boolean
NOT NULLABLE
Default Value: 0
We've refreshed our EDMX data model and the new column appears just fine. We are on an ASP.NET 4.0 platform using C#.
We have a class defined as PagedList which inherits from List and implenents an interface IPagedList
Within the PagedList we have the following method:
[Code]....
When we reach the following line:
{ AddRange(source.Skip((index) * pageSize).Take(pageSize).ToList()); }
we receive the following Exception ...
Type: System.Data.EntityCommandExecutionException
Inner Exception: "Invalid column name 'DisplayAsSoldOut'."
I've tried searching for this type of exception but to no avail. The column appears in the EDMX dataset just fine. I even created a small throwaway program and imported the EDMX to do a simple read from the database and it worked fine. Has anyone run across something similar?

I have a stroed procedure which is mapped in myEDMX file under EntityContainer >>Function Imports. When I add or remove a column from the stored procedure, I am not able to remove the old columns from the model. I right click on the stored procedure in Model browser and got to Edit Function Import. The return type is complex.
I select "get column information" and get the updated return fields but can not update the collection. It will work if I click on "Create New Complex Type" but it will generate a new name for the collection and the old collection is still in the mode. I even tried deleting and adding the stored procedures and can not get it to work. I can only edit the edmx.cs and the XML to remove it but there is got to be a better way.

I need to add a table to a .edmx file. Earlier I had added that table, say, Table A to the edmx file. Since keys were not set, I had to delete it. Then in order to bring back the altered Table A to the file, I right clicked the file and clicked the option 'Update Model from Database'. But I couldn't find the table I deleted from the edmx file. It is there in the database. how can I bring the table back to the edmx file.

This not an 'MVC' question per se, but this is the closest forum I could find. I am building web/wpf/silverlight front end on the MVP pattern. I am using EDMX and a 'business logic' class to form the model, a presenter project, and a view project.The IViews contain the basic structure of each entity, the presenter contains actions, etc.Sample view:
[Code]....
Sample presenter:
[Code]....
QUESTIONS:I seem to end up with a 1-1 mapping of views and presenters. SHould there be more than one view per presenter, or more than one presenter per view? Should the presenter for an entity (in this case a User) also contain methods for functional items such as searching for a filtered list of Users using overloaded methods, etc.?Should the IViewXYZ interface contain any events or actions (methods)?

I have an application asp.net with framework 3.5sp1. I had used DBML to access all my stored procedure and EDMX to access to all my web services. on the development machine all is ok I have no problem, but when I deploy the application on the production server (WS 2003) and I try to execute my web servcie (myapp.svc) I get an error message "cannot open this page, view the server log".
the IIS is correctly configured, the security I used Anonymous with an authentificated user (not IUSR_server) I give him full control to my virtual directory.
permission is ok for aspnet...
I tried to execute some pages that use only DBML and it works fine.
