I'm trying to use formview in order to do insert of a new entity object (called Customer) Customer has a reference to another entity called Address. How can I fill both of them in the same formview?

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 table in my database with a one to many relationship to another table, which has a relationship to a third table:

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 have a complex object. For example a SCHOOL object that contains a collection of PERSON object. How can I use the ObjectDataSource control with a FormView and flatten the complex object? An example display would be to display the school name and comma separate the students on the page. Is this possible?
public string Id
{
get { return m_id; }
[code]...
If I have Database Stored Procedure retrun Complex type (Contain from Columns for 2 tables) ( Composite) and No Relation between them so i can't use Navigation Property ... so how can I use That in ADO.NET Framework specially when i try to use Add Function Import i didn't find any thing else None, Scalars, Entites.

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?
View 1 RepliesI 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.
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 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.
We have an ASP.NET MVC site that uses Entity Framework abstractions with Repository and UnitOfWork patterns. What I'm wondering is how others have implemented navigation of complex object graphs with these patterns. Let me give an example from one of our controllers:
[code]....
It's a registration process and pretty much everything hangs off the POCO class Person. In this case we're caching the person through the registration process. I've now started implementing the latter part of the registration process which requires access to data deeper in the object graph. Specifically DPA data which hangs off Legal inside Country.
The code above is just mapping out the model information into a simpler format for the ViewModel. My question is do you consider this fairly deep navigation of the graph good practice or would you abstract out the retrieval of the objects further down the graph into repositories?
I 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.
I m try to insert record to table, its working well without foreignkey using Entity model. But i need to insert foreign key. I used the following query, its not working well via Entity model.
objFacility.FacilityCategoryReference.EntityKey =
new System.Data.EntityKey("testEntities.test",
"id", 10);
I ahve two tables each with a primary key. There is a lookup table in between the two tables with relationships. Below is a simplified look at the table structure
Table 'Product'
Column ProductPK int (Primary Key)
Table 'County'
Column CountyID int (primary key)
Table Product_County_Lookup
Column ProductPK int (Joint Primary Key)
Column CountyID int (joint primary key)
I already have the ProductPK and CountyID. What is the correct LINQ statement to insert into Product_County_Lookup table ONLY?
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')

View 2 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.
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 am working with entity frame work to insert data into data base for that I write a web method and query function but data can’t insert data base following my function and web method.
/////////////////////////
function AddGridviewData() {
var AddRow = new Array();
$('[id*=Test_gridview]').find('tr:has(td)').each(function () {
var NewRow = {};
NewRow. name = $(this).find("td:eq(1)").html();
[Code] ...
There are no error and no insert the data into data base.
