the problem is that it will insert a new record in a mysql table, I have already done the mapping of the mysql db and I have already done tests returning data and everything works. Now I read from a file, where there are queries written, I have them run me back and the result of true or false based on the final outcome of single query written to the file. Txt; I did this:
using (var w = new demotestEntities ()) ( foreach (var l listaqueri) ( var p = we.CreateQuery <category> (l); we.SaveChanges (); result = true; ) )
but it does not work, I sense that it returns no errors, but neither the result given written in the query. txt file is as follows: INSERT INTO category (id, name) VALUES (null, 'test2')
I have a one-to-one relationship on two tables with are represented by 2 classes in my EDM. I am trying to save a new record and am confused how to save to the second entity. I have tried the following.
Dim myObject as new MyObject myObject.prop1 = 5 myObject.prop2 = "Test" myObject.myOtherObject.prop1 = 3 myObject.myOtherObject.prop2 = "Hello"
But I get an error when I hit myObject.myOtherObject.prop1 = 3 because myOtherObject hasn't been initialized. How do I initialize an child object under myObject?
I have a webservice which of course has to be .net 3.5 (a side note is does anyone know why you can't create a webservice using .net 4.0?).
Anyhow it is using entity framework, which I have recently discovered was a really bad mistake to try to use this in .net 3.5.
I have a table "Licenses" with the following columns: LicenseKey, ProductCode, OrderID, Seq, UserName.
In my asp.net 4.0 application I can simply do the following to perform an update:
[Code]....
But it appears there is no ExecuteStoreCommand in .net 3.5 with entity framework. Can anyone explain to me how to accomplish the same thing? The thing I need to point out is that because this is a multi-user access service. I need to verify that SQL will only update the given record where OrderID and Seq is what I tell it ONLY if the UserName is already null. So if two users process the same statement at the same time only one would work and the other would not because the sql should fail (or return 0, rather than a 1) for the second one.
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'm using the linq to entity command to perform a record update. I want to set one of the fields back to NULL but I'm not sure how do it. I have a query such as
Dim record = From r in db.LISTS where r.ID = refID Select r record.Title = txtTitle.text if txtDetail.text = "" then record.Detail = end if
I'm trying to insert a new EF object containing a reference to a related table via foreign key, and cannot get the reference stored in the new object. I have two tables in a SQL Server 2008 Database:
Component Templates PartGroups
with a Foreign Key linking them thus: ComponentTemplates:ID [0..1<->*] PartGroups:ComponentTemplateID
I have imported these tables into a .NET web application project .edmx file (using a new ADO.NET Entity Data Model), and then created a Data Service which I then reference in a Silverlight 3.0 project. The objects are available as expected in the data context called by my Silverlight app and load correctly. Now, when I try to save a reference of ComponentTemplate into a newly created PartGroup, the PartGroup object is created in the database, but the value of ComponentTemplateID in the newly created table record is NULL.
[Code]....
(Note that _ctCtrl.ComponentTemplate is a confirmed non-NULL object reference to the parent object on which PartGroup is a child)
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.
I've just created a new MVC 2 application that references both an entity model library and a services library, and all compiles fine without running the app, but when I try running it, I get the following runtime error"
Compiler Error Message: CS0012: The type 'System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EntityObject' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Data.Entity, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.
I have double checked umteen times (e.g. Umpteen*n) and the cited assembly is refenced in all three projects. If it wasn't, WTF would I not get a build error?
We have an IVR product that reads a configuration database for callflow information. I am writing a tool for our implementation team that will allow them to add/delete/update the data in the configuration database. Once the tool is in production, the implementer will use only the production release of the tool to modify the configuration database in all four of the IVR regions (Dev, QA, Cert, and Prod). Each region has its own database with identical schemas. The tool has 'tabs' across the top for each region. If a user is currently working in the Dev region and clicks the QA tab, how do I switch my connection from the Dev db server to the QA db server?
All I am trying to do is to make an update to an existing User and then save the changes to the database. I fooled around with different options and can see that I can make the change to the context during Page_Load, but it does not commit the changes to the Database.
As a follow on from this question I'm building a custom server control to be placed on a Sharepoint 2010 master page. The idea behind this is that it will display a menu that is dynamically populated from the database. As this is a server control, I'm building it in a dll but I've run into a small snag. As it has to connect to the database, I need to store the connection string somewhere (and have it able to be configured based on target configuration (dev/test/prod). I was intending to the user the Entity Framework as my ORM but i'm confused as to where the connection string is to be stored. In a normal ASP.NET web app it goes in the web.config, but this is a server control in a external DLL.
Where do I store the connection string so that I can just build and deploy the assembly containing the server control.
EDIT:
Before I post a bounty, I have tried using an embedded resource XML file to hold the connection string and while this works, I'm curious as to if this is best practice/a better way?
I have an ASP.NET application with existing business classes and a database schema. (which I would like to keep) Currently I am using ADO.NET for the DAL, but I would like to switch to some advanced technology there for easier data retrieval.
Is EF applicable to my situation? Can I use it without splitting up my business classes and auto code generation? Can LINQ to SQL solve my problem better?
All I want to do is map my existing classes to the existing tables and dont have to handle details of the data retrieval myself.
I'm working on an application that is connected to the online MSSQL database and everything is working fine.The model I'm using is entity model.The problem is that I have to change the connection string from the online database to the local one,but I don't know how.Creating new model isn't an option.I tried changing the connection string in web.config,but errors are the only thing I get.
public class Category { public int CategoryId { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } } public partial class CategoryMap : EntityTypeConfiguration<Category> { public CategoryMap() { this.HasKey(c => c.CategoryId); this.Property(c => c.Name).IsRequired().HasMaxLength(400); } } public class MyObjectContext : DbContext { public MyObjectContext(string connectionStringName) : base(connectionStringName) { } public DbSet<Category> Categories { get; set; } protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder) { modelBuilder.Configurations.Add(new CategoryMap()); base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder); } }
Now when I run the following code I get an exception (GenericArguments[0], 'System.Int32', on 'System.Data.Entity.Internal.Linq.ReplacementDbQueryWrapper`1[TEntity]' violates the constraint of type 'TEntity')
DbDatabase.SetInitializer<MyObjectContext>(new DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<MyObjectContext>()); using (var context = new MyObjectContext("NopSqlConnection")) { var query1 = from c in context.Categories select c.CategoryId; var test1 = query1.ToList(); //works fine var query2 = from c in context.Categories where query1.Contains(c.CategoryId) orderby c.Name descending select c; var test2 = query2.ToList(); //throws the exception }
