I am looking for a solid tutorial on using the Entity Framework with POCO (ie. not using the designer) using MySQL as the back-end. I am looking for something that is semi-in-depth covering stuff like attributes (like how to map a database table/field name to a class/field name that is different). Also I am looking for C#, not VB. Does anyone know of any such tutorials?

I have a Consumer class and a BillableConsumer : Consumer class. When trying to do any operation on my "Consumers" set, I get the error message "Object mapping could not be found for Type with identity Models.BillableConsumer.
From the CSDL:
[code]....
Is this because I did not specifically add the BillableConsumer entity to the object set? How do I do that in a POCO scenario?
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 am using MUSQL Database extensivly in my projects,
can we build ADO.NET entity framework based on MYSQL database?
I have an asp.net dynamic data website .net 3.5 built on ado.net entity framework with mysql database.Currently I have just one table in my entity model.
Everything is working fine on my local machine but when i uploaded on my server i got this error message:
"More than one item in the metadata collection match the identity 'mtDBModelStoreContainer'"
Note that this error happen when i open the table "WebsiteAdmin/users/List.aspx"
I am using EF4 with POCO entities and having problems to update an existing item. In a webbapp I have an ajax function fetching an entity object from the database through EF4. Then i make some changes to it and when I try to update the record in the database I call the Attach-method but it is not saved. I guess this has something do with that I am not in the same context anymore...so my question is how to make an update of a previously fetched record if the context which was used to fetch record is disposed?
View 3 RepliesIs 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 am new to entity framework , it is really very good , but I want to know what is the difference between using entity framework with stored procedure or without stored procedure , which one the faster and what is the benefits for using stored procedures with entity framework.
View 1 RepliesI 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?
I get an cast exception when i am trying to insert an entity in Entity Framework (using code-first). From this code :
public virtual T Insert(T entity)
{
return Context.Set<T>().Add(entity);
}
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
public class Post
{
public long PostId { get; private set; }
public DateTime date { get; set; }
[Required]
public string Subject { get; set; }
public User User { get; set; }
public Category Category { get; set; }
[Required]
public string Body { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Tag> Tags { get; private set; }
public Post()
{
Category = new Category();
if (Tags == null)
Tags = new Collection<Tag>();

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.

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.
I'm writing a custom .NET MembershipProvider (not the built in one) and trying to update using Entity Framework. But of course i have no access to (Try)UpdateModel. How can i update it?
View 3 RepliesI have an Events table and an InstallmentPlans table. The relationship is 0..1 : an Event can have 0 or 1 Installment plans. If I want to remove the existing InstallmentPlan for an event, how do I do this? Setting it to null doesn't seem to work:
_event.InstallmentPlan = null;
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.
I am trying to do something like this:

I am starting to build a website project for personal use to learn ASP.NET more in depth. I am wanting to use MySQL as a database since I have a friend thats a MySQL admin guy at his job. But I only have Web Developer Express 2010 and cant get the MySQL plugin to use the Entity Framework with MySQL. So I was wanting to create my own classes for each table in my database with properties related to each column so that I can use something like the following:

View 1 RepliesI'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.
View 3 RepliesI have 3 tables in the database, with a Many to Many relationship:
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. There is no separate Entity, because there is only the PK/FK in the AssessmentGrade. I have looked at some tutorials, but none of them seem to address my situation.
