Architecture :: Entity Framework With 3 Layers Design

May 19, 2010

I am thinking to use entity model as DAL, how should I create the BLL then? What kind of datasourceobject should I use in the asp pages?

I am looking for best practice to use Entity framework 2 in the three layers design. I had experience at dataset with three layers design.

Should I use objectdatasource at the pages for gridviews? My guess is that entitydatasource by passed the BLL which is not good, so the only option left is the objectdatasource.

Could and should my BL object inherit those entity model in the DAL, so I dont need to recreate their object's property?

Exporting Entity Framework 4 Data Model To Entity Framework 3.5?

Oct 25, 2010

Is there a way to export a EF 4.0 Data Model to EF 3.5?

I looked around and found that we are not able to access EF 4.0 from a ASP.Net 3.5 project here: [URL]

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.

Share Entity Data Model Amongst Layers?

May 17, 2010

How can I share the auto-generated entity data model (generated object classes) amongst all layers of my C# web app whilst only granting query access in the data layer? This uses the typical 3 layer approach: data, business, presentation.

My data layer returns an IEnumerable<T> to my business layer, but I cannot return type T to the presentation layer because I do not want the presentation layer to know of the existence of the data layer - which is where the entity framework auto-generated my classes.

It was recommended to have a seperate layer with just the data model, but I'm unsure how to seperate the data model from the query functionality the entity framework provides.

Entity Framework -Update Entity When Another Entity Is Updated

Jun 30, 2010

I 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?

Cast Exception When Try To Insert Entity In Entity Framework (using Code-f)

I get an cast exception when i am trying to insert an entity in Entity Framework (using code-first). From this code :

}

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, 2011

I 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, 2011

I 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.

ADO.NET :: Entity Framework: Getting Key Of Newly Inserted Entity?

Feb 3, 2011

Here's a simple code snippet where I create a new Entity object and call SaveChanges() to create a new record in the mapped database table.

[Code]....

What I'm trying to figure out is whether there is a way to derive this new key for my entity, e, from the ObjectContext, m? The reason for this is that the way my actual code is structured, my entity object is already out of scope at the point where I call the SaveChanges() method.

WCF / ASMX :: Electronic Store - Two Separate Projects For Entity?

Aug 11, 2010

Nowadays I'm building an electronic store where I work. We have a few other online applications for the e-marketing and e-commerce activities, such as payment forms of campaigns we're spending, various portals etc. There is a common entity in our sites : VISITOR. We save a record for each visitor containing various information. Also, we have another entity - PURCHASE - the purchase of a product. It also exists in some of our DBs, Depending on applications. Today, when I'm designing a new store I decided to get WCF into business.

The purpose is to union all the application workings with PURCHASE and VISITOR. Since there are several applications that use the entity VISITOR and PURCHASE, I thought to develop VISITOR WCF and WCF for PURCHASE. I thought to create them in two separate projects - each one on its own WCF SERVICE APPLICATION, and to invoke them from my new shop as a beginning and in the future from the other applications. Both WCFs will work on the same DB that will contain and work with VISITOR and PURCHASES.

C# - Order A List Of Entities Based On A Field From A Separate Entity With A Relationship

Mar 6, 2011

I'm using Entity Framework for my object-relational mapping, and jqGrid for my grid.

I have an Employee entity, that contains a ContactID field. I have a Contact entity that contains fields FirstName and LastName.

I want to display a list of Employees in a grid, and give the user the ability to sort by FirstName and LastName.

Here's what I have right now:

public JsonResult GridData(string sidx, string sord, int page, int rows)
{
var pageIndex = Convert.ToInt32(page) - 1;
var pageSize = rows;
var totalRecords = GetAllEmployees().Count();
var totalPages = (int)Math.Ceiling(totalRecords / (float)pageSize);
IQueryable<Employee> employees = GetAllEmployees().
OrderBy(sidx + " " + sord).
Skip(pageIndex * pageSize).
Take(pageSize).ToArray();
}

As you can see, this only gives me the ability to sort by fields in the Employee entity, so I can't sort by FirstName and LastName.

How can I modify this to accomplish that?

ADO.NET :: Entity Framework In 4.0?

Feb 10, 2011

I've been trying to learn about the entity framework. I plan on using it in a rewrite of a site I'm doing.But everything I can find on it is on the 3.5 framework and they all mention that there will be changes in 4.0. Does anyone know of a good article, video series, and or tutorial on the entity framework in 4.0?I've worked a lot with Linq to Sql, so I don't think I'll have too much trouble working with the entity framework, but I'd like to learn more about the current version.

Assessment(assessID, userID, A, B, C)Grade(gradeID, scoreA, scoreB, scoreC)AssessmentGrade(assessID, gradeID) [PK and FK]I can already Insert into the Assessment AND Grade tables without any problems.I cannot seem to figure out how to Insert into the AssessmentGrade table.

ADO.NET :: LINQ To SQL Vs Entity Framework

Aug 5, 2010

Im working on a greenfield project and have to make a decision on the technology we'll use for the data access layer. Ive used LINQ to SQL for a few years and am happy and comfortable with this, but now with entity framework available this is another method to consider. Are there any pitfalls using entity framework as opposed to LINQ to SQL ? Ive read that there are performance issues with entity framework, is this true? Id really like to get an overall feel for using one method over the other, anyone have any thoughts/comments/recomendations?
