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?
View 3 Repliesthe 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 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"
There are some tutorials explaining how to create a Model based on Linq to Sql or The Ms Entity Framework. Can I use my custom code for a model? If we have the controller with the code :
[Code]....
This returns a List<Movie> to the view that knows what to do with it. Is it possible that I create a method called MovieSet that returns a List<Movie> using a sql qry or a stored procedure call without the creation of an Object for this purpose ? Or do I need a Movie object? Lets say that I just to do my query, loading data into a dataTable and load that data to a list of movie objects. Because the code created by the Entity Framerwork is too big for a quick reading.
I have the following related tables:
Users
Id
Username
Email
Password
UserStatuses
Id
Name
Users_UserStatus
Id
User (FK - Users: Id)
Status (FK - UserStatuses: Id)
StatusDate
As you can see, UserStatuses is a reference table with various statuses. Users_UserStatus is a join table between Users and UserStatuses. Using Entity Framework, how can I do a conditional to check if the latest StatusDate is "Pending"? As of now, I have the following:
[Code]....
I need to check if any rows are returned in a QueryString here's what I have so far.not sure what code to put to see if the row count is greater than 1
private void BindDataToGrid()
{
//MessageBoardEntities3 is ThemeableAttribute connection string name
int TID = Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString["ThreadID"].ToString()); // if Post ID is int
var context = new MessageBoardEntities3();
gvPosts.DataSource = from p in context.Posts
where p.ThreadID == TID
select new { p.Post1, p.PostID };
gvPosts.DataBind();
lblNoPosts.Text = "No posts found for this thread.";
}
Can I create an ADO.NET Entity Data Model for a MySQL database using Visual Web Express 2010? If yes, are there any documentation or tutorials?
View 1 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 want to update database using entity framework by passing class object in one go with setting without setting object values again.
I have added data using following code

here obj is class object which i have passed to the AddTotblTables() method
similary i want to update table in same manner by passing class object.
how to change the database while using ADO.Net Entity Framework?
I have two identical databases. I want to change the db. Can i change it through web.Config?
Like LINQ to SQL ?
in my table test
Name Add
0 prinku sad
1 tommy asdsa
2 ghhgh sdsdd
now i want to select the name in the first row...am using Ado.net entity framework
empEntities db =
new
empEntities();
now how to select the name at 1
db.Tests.Name.ElementAt(1);?actuually this throws an 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?
View 3 RepliesAll 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.

View 1 RepliesI transfered my data from MDF files to MS SQL Database, but I can't get it working with entity framework.
My Old connection string is:
metadata=res://*/Models.EntityModel.csdl|res://*/Models.EntityModel.ssdl|res://*/Models.EntityModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|TripsDB.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User
Instance=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True"
I put all data from TripsDB.mdf to Trips table in local MS SQL 2008 Enterprise database. Also changed connection string to:
Server=WIESIEK;Database=Trips;Trusted_Connection=True;providerName=System.Data.SqlClient;User ID=Jan J. Roman
But my application throws System.ArgumentExceptio with message: The 'server' keyword is not supported.
on line:
private TripsDBEntities2 _entity = new TripsDBEntities2();where TripsDBEntities2 is Entity Framework instance.
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.
This is what I have in web.config:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="PravosudnaAkademijaEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*
PrakModel.csdl|res://*/PrakModel.ssdl|res://*/PrakModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string='Data Source=HRVOJE-PC;Initial Catalog=pak_baza;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
I have an ASP.NET Page that updates registered User Address Details for a selected record.
Below is the Update method that i am calling from Controller.

Did anyone run into the same error while updating the record with Entity Framework.

I 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 ?
If I want to be able to have a table Consultant, which is the user and their personal information, and I want this user to be able to select their proficiency in a number of Programs (software) on a scale from 0-5 (zero being no experience whatsoever), how do I do this best?
I mean I could have a Consultant table with a one-to-many relationship to a Program table, and then have all the limited Programs availalbe loaded by an XML file or something, and for each Consultant associate all the Programs and their Levels of proficiency. But that seems very wrong and inefficient.
It seems to me I should have a table with all the (limited number of) Programs, and then by some sort of association between the two by Ids. But I can't get my head around how to do this. I'm thinking many-to-many... But first, is this correct? Secondly, how do I do this in an Entity Framework Model? I usually create my database code first, i.e. create the EF model, and then generate database from model. Will I get a junction table where I can add the Level field, because basically a Consultant HAS A Program with a Level, or actually a list of Programs each with a Level.
First and foremost ... I already made a few changes in the template, the most important one changing the methods generated for stored procedures with OUTPUT parameters and no resultset so that instead of instantiating a few OutputParameter objects, passing them to the method and extracting the values (all without any type checking) you just call the method with a few "out someType?" parameters so I do not need the very basics. I am totally confused by all those GlobalItem, EdmProperty,BuiltInTypeKind, TypeUsage and all this made of objects, all alike and all different though so as soon as I need more data than what's already used by the template I run into problems :-(What I would like is to change the WritePrimitiveTypeProperty() so that it outputs [StringLength(xxx)] for all char, varchar, nchar and nvarchar properties. But I can't find a way to get from an EdmProperty in the model to the database type in the store.anyone is interested here's the modified stored procedure mapping code for the template. The first code replaces the original in the .tt:
[Code]....
the second needs to be added into a copy of EF.Utility.CS.ttinclude that you add to your project and reference from the .tt
[Code]....
I want to know if I develop and application using entity framework 4.0 and sql server and then changing the connection string to my sql one, will it work without any problem?
What are the other considerations to keep in mind?
