Entity SQL Adding Related Objects
Mar 19, 2010
I have the following tables:
Campaigns (CampaignId, CampaignName, etc)
Urls(UrlId, CampaignId, UrlText)
I have a relationship setup between Campaigns table and Urls (FK_Url_Campaign) everything works fine when I try to add a new campaign but when I try to insert a new Url I get:
Entities in 'DatabaseEntity.Url' participate in the 'FK_Url_Campaign' relationship. 0 related 'Campaign' were found. 1 'Campaign' is expected.
This is my code:
// INSERT
public int Insert()
{
Url dbUrl = new Url();
dbUrl.CampaignId = (int)CampaignId;
dbUrl.Url1 = (string)Url;
context.AddToUrl(dbUrl);
context.SaveChanges();
return (int)dbUrl.UrlId;
}
Pretty much i want update/add new campaign and then I call Insert for Url. how would i go about doing this?

I am using Entity Framework for my .NET application. I have been able to return objects and their directly-related objects as well (very convenient), but I am having trouble getting the objects of those objects.
IEnumerable<Lot> i = (((ObjectSet<Car>)_carRepository.GetQuery()) .Include(a => a.CarTypes).Take(10).ToList()
This works and I can access carTypes, however I cannot figure out how to access tables associated with CarTypes (e.g. tables which have fields associated with the car types). I tried to use a Join however I was unable to figure out how to get it to work right.

getting 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.

I have and Article object that I update in my controller.... the object is passed into the controller and then I just call UpdateModel(inArticle) and it was all good. I now expanded my article to belong to a category and want to do that update there as well. I am not sure if it was the right thing to do but just as a start i hard-coded an update to the ArticleCategory table, just after I do the UpdateModel. This works but I am not sure how to code this update?
I am using the repository patter and i somehow feel that I should be passing an Article and an ArticleCategory object from the view to the controller? While I was writing this I thought that I could just extend my article object to include the categoryID but what if I really wanted to pass two un-related objects from the view to the controller? The UpdateModel persistes the database objects as by VoodooMagic, how would it work if I wanted to update 2 un-related objects?

I'm working on a MVC3 application and I created my POCO classes from my database with the DbContext Code Generator. All goes fine until I got stuck in this situation. Note that I use the repository pattern and I use for every entity a dedicated repository that every get a new instance of the DbContext.
Now, I'm in this situation:
object A has a relation one-to-many with B (A can have one or many B)
object B has a relation many-to-one with C (C can have one or many B)
object B has a relation many-to-one with D (D can have one or many B)
I should add a new object B, consider that object C and D are yet existing, so I must only do the relation and the object A can be created or updated. In the specific consider that A is customer and B is subscriptions (C and D are virtual objects properties
in the B).Now If I try to save I got duplicates in C and D tables, while the management of the object seems to work.
Here's the code: [Code]....
And here the add and the save method of the customer repository: [Code]....
Should I check for every relation and modify the state of the entry to Unchanged or something like that ?

I use VS 2010 Ultimate. I created an 'asp.net web application' from scratch, added a 'ADO.NET Entity Model' to my project (EF4).
The problem I'm having is that whenever I try and use an EntityDataSource to pull data out of my entity model I am near constantly getting the following error:
"The metadata specified in the connection string could not be loaded. Consider rebuilding the web project to build assemblies that may contain metadata. The following error(s) occurred:"

I am using entity framework. My model has entity tblGameInfo where in navigation properties are associations called tblPlayer1 and tblPlayer2 which links to entity tblPlayer. I have listview on my page where I want to show game info with players names. I have found that in of listview I should have e.g. one of those:

But it does not work. I got nothing displayed in a listview. I have tried many different options but cannot find working one. Probably is some simple mistake but I am new to asp.net and cannot find it. Second problem with this is editing. In edit template there is dropdownlist with all players.
[Code]....
How do I databind it? It is not allowed to bind and change properties? It writes me that element does not exist on a list of elements.

I have an entity generated from my database that contains one table. When i make changes in the DB i obviously would like these changes to reflected in my model.
My current approach is to delete the item from the designer and then right-click - update model from database. This works for me at the moment. Is there a different approach to refreshing these entity tables ?

I've been tasked to convert our old DAL that have gen objects to possibly the Entity Framework 4.0. We create objects inheriting from our genned objects and have a ton methods our legacy codes uses. Does anyone have an idea or possible solution on how to create an entity framework model that maps to our old genned objects? Or a solution that requires us to modify our legacy code minimally?

I need to pass a list of Entity Objects from Controller to View but not put it in the Model context. It is the users homepage, but I am putting a list of alerts on the users home page(somewhat like facebook). So I need the User Context as the Model I pass but need to pass the Alert model as well so I can show the list of alerts.. How would I do that? The code below is what I have so far..
UserController

I want to be able to update a model and all its collections of child objects in the same view. I have been referred to these examples: http://haacked.com/archive/2008/10/23/model-binding-to-a-list.aspx and http://blog.stevensanderson.com/2010/01/28/editing-a-variable-length-list-aspnet-mvc-2-style/ .
For example, I have an object Consultant, that has a collection of "WorkExperiences". All this is in an Entity Framework model. In the view, the simple properties of the Consultant object is no problem, but the collection I cannot get a textbox to show up for. I tried following the examples in the links above, but it doesn't work. The problem is, in those examples the model is just a list (not an object with a child list property). And also, the model again is an EF model. And for some reason that doesn't seem to work as in those examples.
[Code]....
This stuff with the EditorTemplate works fine in Phil Haack's sample project, which I downloaded to try, but here, with the EF model or whatever the problem is, I don't get any textbox at all. The table in the view is just there as a test, because in the table I do get the rows for WorkExperiences, whether I add an empty WorkExperience object or fill out its properties doesn't matter, the rows show up for each object. But again, no textbox...

I have a question, much liket this unanswered one. I'm trying to work with the entity framework, and having a tough time getting my foreign tables to update. I have something basically like this in the DB:
Incident (table):
-ID
-other fields
Responses (table):
-FK:Incident.ID
-other fields
And and entities that match:
Incident (entity)
-ID
-Other fields
-Responses (EntityCollection of Responses via navigation property)
Each Incident can have 0 or more responses.
In my Webpage, I have a form to allow the user to enter all the details of an Incident, including a list of responses. I can add everything to the database when a new Incident is created, however I'm having difficulty with editing the Incident.
When the page loads for edit, I populate the form and then store the responses in the viewstate. When the user changes the list of responses (adds one, deletes one or edits one). I store this back into the viewstate. Then when the user clicks the save button, I'd like to save the changes to the Incident and the Responses back to the DB. I cannot figure out how to get the responses from the detached viewstate into the Incident object so that they can be updated together.
Currently when the user clicks save, I'm getting the Incident to edit from the db, making changes to the Incident's fields and then saving it back to the DB. However I can't figure out how to have the detached list of responses from the viewstate attach to the Incident. I have tried the following without success:
Clearning the Incident.Responses collection and adding the ones from the viewstate back in:
Incident.Responses.Clear()
for each objResponse in Viewstate("Responses")
Incident.Responses.add(objResponse)
next
Creating an EntityCollection from my list and then assiging that to the Incident.Responses
Incident.Responses = EntityCollectionFromViewstateList
Iterating through the responses in Incident.Response and assigning the corresponding object from viewstate:
for each ObjResponse in Incident.Responses
objResponse = objCorrespondingModifedResonseFromViewState
Next
These all fail, I'd like to be able to merge the changes into the Inicdent object so that when the BLL calls SaveChanges on the changes to both the Incident and Responses will happen at the same time.

I have a table in my database with a one to many relationship to another table, which has a relationship to a third table:
[Code].....
This seems to work fine. My question to you good folks: Is there a correct way to do this? I tried following the making a custom model binder per the blog link I posted above but it didn't work (there was an issue with reflection, the code expected certain properties to exist) and I needed to get something going ASAP. PS - I tried to cleanup the code to hide specific information, so beware I may have hosed something up.

I'm re-registering the script each time on Page_Load, due to it throwing an "Error: Object expected" after each page_load when trying to call the javascript if I don't.

I am using the Entity Framework for the first time and want to know if the following is possible - I have generated my classes from the DB, and have one called Category.
Obviously it has all my fields in the table (ID, CategoryName, SortOrder etc..) but I want to know if I can add a custom property which is not in the table, but is actually the result of a custom method.
I want to add a new property called 'CategoryURL' which is basically the 'CategoryName' property run through a custom method and returns a hyphenated string.
My initial thought is inheriting from the generated Category class and creating something like this inside?
public string CategoryURL
{
get{ return MyCustomMethod(this.CategoryName) }
}
Is this the correct approach? And will 'this.CategoryName' work as I think it should? Basically the end result is when I return a list of 'Category' I want this to be part of the class so I can use it in my foreach loop.

I'm trying to have a View where the user can add items in a collection without having to go to a new View (the scenario is a sort of CV site where the user adds info about work experience, skills, etc, and it would seem absurd to go to a new View to add each little thing).
So I have an edit View that shows a number of text boxes for the already added items, and there's an ajax call to go to a method to fetch the collection fresh if the user adds an item.
Here are the methods in question:

I've been at this same question in different forms now for a while (see e.g. Entity Framework and MVC 3: The relationship could not be changed because one or more of the foreign-key properties is non-nullable. ), and it's still bugging me, so I thought I'd put it a little more generically:
You have an entity object (using Entity Framework), say User. The User has some simple properties such as FirstName, LastName, etc. But it also has some object property lists, take the proverbial example Emails, to make this simple. Email is often designed as a list of objects so that you can add to that object properties like Address and Type (Home, Work, etc). I'm using this as an example to keep it generic, but it could be anything, the point is, you want the user to be able to add an arbitrary number of these items. You should also be able to delete items (old address, or whatever).
Now, in a normal web page you would expect to be able to add these items in the same View. But MVC as it seems designed only makes it easy to do this if you call up an entirely new View just to add the address. (In the template for an Index View you get the "Create New" link e.g.).
I've come across a couple of examples that do something close to what I mean here:
[URL]
and
[URL]
The problem is, although the sample projects on these sites work fine, with mock model objects, and simply lists (not an object with a child list), it's a different thing if you actually want to do something with the posted information - in my case save to database through the Entity Framework model. To adapt these cases to that, all of a sudden I'm in a maze of intricate and definitely not DRY code... Juggling objects with AutoMapper and whatnot, and the Entity Framework won't let you save and so on (see above link if you're interested in the details).
What I want to get at is, is it really possible that this is such an uncommon thing to want to do? Update a child collection in the same View as the parent object (such as the email addresses in this case)? It seems to me it can't be uncommon at all, and there must be a standard way of handling this sort of scenario, and I'm just missing it (and no one here so far has been able to point me to a straighforward solution, perhaps because I made it too abstract with my own application examples).

I am building an application using Asp.Net 4.0 and Entity framework 4.
I have already created the model class (edmx) file using the Database-First method of the Entity framework.
Now I am almost nearning the end of the application. I have realised I need to add one more table to my database.
How do I add the newly created table to the model class (edmx) file.
If I again regenerate the model class, similar to what I did the first time i.e using the Database-First approach, will my current application be affected.
Will the already in use data like tables, relationships and views be affected in anyway.
Do I have to follow this approach everytime I need to add a new table to the entity model class.
