I am new to Linq to Sql. I was wondering if there was a way that I could override the default naming convention on the tables in the .DBML file. I am asking because the person who designed the database I am using prefaced all of the table names with DGIS_. For instance, my customer table is called DGIS_Customers. I would prefer that the classes in the DBML file be called Customer, not DGIS_Customer.
View 3 RepliesI had an Entitiy model class like this:
[Code]....

The database tabels where named like AccountInformation and AccountMembership (so without the ending s).This did not work, since it could not find the database tables (it was looking for AccountInformatons instead of AccountInformation)So I changed the entities like:
[Code]....
But I still get the same error that it can not find the table 'AccountInformations' (or 'AccountMemberships').I do not have an .edmx file or what so ever...What should I do to get this change work properly?
anybody working on data exporting? I've 4 tables in my sql server database. I want to export these 4 tables data into one excel file in different sheets with column names.
View 7 RepliesI have two tabels as mentioned below. I am using entity framework and vs2010.I am not able to write linq query to get data from both the tables. there is one to many relationship(for one category ther can be multiple articles).
View 1 RepliesI need to dynamically access some SQL tables hopefully using the Entity Framework. Here's some pseudo code:
var Account = DB.Accounts.SingleOrDefault(x => x.ID == 12345);
which will return me an Account object and this contains some fields called "PREFIX", "CAMPAIGN ID" and further information about the accounts are stored in separate SQL tables with the naming convention of PREFIX_CAMPAIGNID_MAIN.
The tables all have the same fields so I was thinking of creating a new Entity that isn't mapped anywhere and then dynamically loading it, like so:
var STA01_MAIN = new MyAccount(); // my "un-mapped" entity
DB.LoadTable('STA01_MAIN').LoadInto(STA01_MAIN);
I can now get anything about the STA01_MAIN account: STA01_MAIN.AccountId. So my question is: how do I access these tables using the Entity Framework?
when i create my entity data model i have a situation in the DB like this :
TableFirst : [Id,IdTableSecond,IdTableSecondAgain];TableSecond[Id]
Created data model is: TableFirst.TableSecond and TableFirst.TableSecond1
Question is: Every time when i create my entity TableFirst.TableSecond will have same relation in behind (IdTableSecond) and TableFirst.TableSecond1 (IdTableSecondAgain)
or they may change?
I'm a newbie to this so bear with me. From what I've read online LINQ to Entity should see the relationships without having to specify the joins between multiple tables. I have a relationship that goes across 4 tables Employee, EmployeeDepartmentLink, EmployeeProjectLink, and Project. The idea is an employee can be in multiple departments and work on multiple projects with it being specified which department the employee is in for that project.
This is a C# MVC3 program connecting to a SQL database using VS 2010 Express.
I have no problem with running this query to find employees on a project:
[Code]....
Tring to do the reverse, finding projects that an employee worked on results in an error:
[Code]....
Error message: The specified type member 'EmployeeDepartmentLinks' is not supported in LINQ to Entities. Only initializers, entity members, and entity navigation properties are supported. So I have 2 questions,
1) Why would it work in one direction and not the other? I've played around with it for a couple days with the same results.
2) Does it matter that my primary key and foreign keys are not named the same since all the relationships are connected in SQL? Ex: in Employee (EmployeePK)--(EmployeeFK) in EmployeeDepartmentLink Trying different stuff in LINQPad I was able to get the 2nd query to work if I specified all the joins which I thought was not neccesary with LINQ to Entity. I converted an SQL query that I made on the server into a LINQ query below which works.
my application have two tables. TableA and TableB TableA have one record
ID StudentName Age
1 MARK 20
I use selectlist to select StudentName .
ViewData["StudentName"] = new SelectList(_db.StudentSet.ToList(), "StudentName", "StudentName");
and then add to TableB. for this case , for me is success, but I also want to add the"Age" into TableB on same time. I don't know how to do it.
i'm having a little problem in my project. i'm using ADO.Net Entity Data Model, let's say i have 2 Tables:
Offices : a. id
b. Name
Requests: a. rid
b.fname
c.lname
d.mobile
i want the requests table will have a relations to the offices table that each row in requests will have the id of the one of the tables. i tried to do 1 to many relations but it didn't work , i just couldnt add data to the table.
I have a question about Entity Framework. answer if you know answer on this. I have such query :
[Code]....
Particularly I want to join few tables in one query, but I can NOT use LINQ and can NOT use ObjectQuery with objects mapped to DB fields inside my query. Because each entity creates dynamically. So this is what i
can NOT use : [URL]
The question is can I use something like this instead of using objects?
[Code]....
The purpose is to use Join method of ObjectQuery with syntax as in Where method :[URL]
A relative newcomer to .net MVC2 and the entity framework, I am working on a project which requires a single web application, (C# .net 4), to connect to multiple different databases depending on the route of access, (ie subdomain).
No problem with this in principle and all the logic is written to transform the subdomain into an entity connection and pass this through to the Entity Model.
The problem comes with the fact that the different database whilst being largely similar in structure contain 3 or 4 unique tables bespoke to that instance.
To my mind there are two ways to solve this issue, neither of which i am sure will be possible.
1/ Use a separate entity model for each database. -Attempts down this route have through up conflicts where table/sp names are the same across differnt db's, or implicit conversion errors when I try and put the different models in different namespaces. or
2/ Overwrite the classes which refer to the changeable database objects based on the value of a base controller property.
My question is if either of theser routes can ever work in principle or if i should just give up on the EF and connect to the dtabases directlky using ADO. Perhaps there is another way to solve this problem i haven't thought of?
I have created a .edmx for the northwind database. When I run the following statement, the correct number of detail records are retrieved and I can access the detail fields, but how do I access the order header record to view OrderDate, ShipAddress, etc...?
[Code]....
I developed and entity framework (.edmx) application in 4.0 in that i got all the data of my querying table and its foreign key referenced tables data also. but when i change my project to 3.5 i am unable to get the data of foreign key referenced tables data.
View 2 RepliesI am working with VS 2010, Entity framework, SQl-Server 2005, ASP.Net web forms. Currently, I am working on the Data access layer library which soon will be a web service, using Entity Framework collaboration with different design patterns like repository pattern and some best practices that posts in different blogs. I am also test each repository using the Unit testing project. Thumbs up! Working fine.
The thing I am worried about is, how much is good for retrieving data from a table that can contain 80-100k records ?
I am new to Entity Framework and working my way through it little by little. I think I have it figured out on how to get data into and out of 1 table at a time now the challenge is 2 tables into a gridview.
I have a user table that has a list of threads that a user can mark to track. Easy enough. Assign the userid number & threadid to a table with a push button while the user is logged in and viewing any of the posts that are on that thread. The new challange is to get only the posts that the user has marked to track. SQL easy. Entity not sure what to do.
If I make a view or stored procedure and add it to the database that would be an extra step. To join the 2 tables as in sql Select posts from posts where track.userid = @userid join track on post.userid=track.userid Seems Entity was made to avoid this type of thing. Than once the data is gathered I need to bind it to a gridview()

I created two stored procedures in SQL Server Management Studio.
First procedure add field in ProjcetsToUsers table (for many-to-many associations)

As for data base both this function work correctly.
I have been working with this database for some time. Here is the situation...
I inherited a MS SQL database that has hundreds of tables with similar data. For instance:
FordTampa_customer is a table,
ChevyAtlanta_customer is a table, etc....
All of the columns are the same...just different tables with their own ID field. All I have done...Inside of another database id is created a table called 'Customer' and added an 'Dealer ID' column along with the rest of the other columns in the other tables...
So the combination of the 'Dealer ID' and the 'ID' field are unique.....I know...its not the best way to do things...but I cannot change the old data structure because I cannot have access to it. I am give back-ups on a weekly basis, so this is all I have to work with.
All right, on to the real point of my post...
Currently, I have an application that I use to select all of the data from the 'Ford_customers','Chevy_customers',etc... and inserts them into my new main 'Customer' table. I do this by selecting the table names, bind it to an arraylist, loop through the list and execute an insert statement.
I do this in VB.NET, but I would prefer to do it in a Stored procedure of some kind....I just am not sure how to accomplish it. I use this syntax to get my list of tables:
[Code]....
I am not sure how to take those names from the table and do another select based on that list of names.
Does any one knows how i can load all the control names in my web application into a drop down box?
{
i++;
ControlName = while(ControlNum >=i)string ControlName =
this.form1.Controls[i].ID.ToString().ToString();
this.cboControls.Items.Add(ControlName.ToString());"";
}
I have a Webform with a large number of user controls on it, they were auto generated as part of a formview.
I would like a way (Add in etc) to print a list of all of the names of the controls for me to use for the code, rather than having to go through and write them all down.
does anyone know of an add in or an easy way to do this in VS2010..?
I want to implement an image gallery in asp.net/C#. I am using sql server 2008, visual studio 2010 and .NET 4.0.
I have made a webpage and now want to display 6 images as thumbnails (and their names just below the thumbnails) at the center of the page. The format of the display is something like this:
[Code]....
Basic operation is like this:
I pull images from a database and then display them as above as thumbnails. The 1 2 3 Next> are links depending on whether there are more than 6 images pulled from the DB. So basically the numbering 1 2 3 4 Next> is dynamic depending on how many images exist. Can anyone give me a basic overview of how this an be achieved? Should I be using a asp:Repeater or a asp:DataList for this kind of a display?

View 7 Repliesgetting 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.
