C# - Entity Framework Model - Not Allowing Me To Add Certain Tables?

Jul 13, 2010

Whilst going through the "ADO.Net Entity Data Model" wizard, I select 3 tables from within a Database to add to my edmx file, and when the file is generated only one of the three tables is there. There was no error or warning to explain why the other tables haven't been added. If I try and add one of the failing tables on its own, again, nothing happens.I am using VS 2010, SQL Server 2008.

Any ideas as to why these database tables are failing to create? I realise there isn't much detail to this question, but there isn't much detail to the situation - It really is a database with 3 tables, of which 2 are failing to create through the wizard with no error.

C# - Entity Framework To Ignore A Model Member?

May 1, 2012

We need to store a list of data we pull from another table that relates to one of our models. (We are too deep into build to add this relationship to our DB where it should be.) When we attempt to load this list in a property of the model that needs it.We load this list into a dropdown in a view. The error occurs trying to load this list into the model in the controller. The true caveat is that we have a unique dropdown list for each record in our table in the view.

Our Class:
Public class OurModel
public property ID As Integer[code]....

Error: LINQ to Entities does not recognize the method 'DB.ModelTable get_Item(Int32)' method, and this method cannot be translated into a store expression.

UPDATE: The issue appears to be that LINQ is trying to do something with a the DBContext of a query I do previously in this controller. The error is referencing DB.Employee not DB.Position which is what I am querying.

Asp.net - Create A Composite Property In An Entity Framework Model?

I have two properties ("FIRST_NAME" and "LAST_NAME") I need to access as a single property (e.g. "FULL_NAME"). Is there a way for me to add a property to my entity model that contains the combine value of FIRST_NAME and LAST_NAME?

In Entity Framework, We Can Use Model First, DB First, Code First But How Can We Create Table Programmatically?

Jun 9, 2012

In entity framework we can use 3 approaches model first , code first , database first but each one of them needs manual hand touch(means creating database or create model or write the POCO class codes or entity class codes) before proceeding to the next step ( using EF in context ).What if I want to create database and tables and table relationships programatically and still want to have to features of EntityFramework 4.3.

To be more specific ,from this example http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307283 we can create database , tables and everything using SQL command but we can't have the advantages of entity framework. So if we want to have that what should we do? To give the ability to create dynamic table fields those steps will not be sufficient. In all 3 steps database , table and table columns are fixed. There is no way that a user can create new tables or columns dynamically. http:[url].... in this post , it shows how to create manual db, tables and etc using SQL but it is based on ADO.NET but I want Entity Manager to do that.

.NET Sample Entity Framework 4.2 Code First Entity Splitting?

Dec 14, 2011

Entity Splitting: one class, two or more tables.Here is how it is done in C#, but I need to get it working in vb.net.One more thing: the class name and table columns do not match, so I have to be able to map that out, too.I have to get this to work this way because the place I'm working at right now is a vb.net only shop and the database schema is fubar, but they have so much (millions) of lines of code done directly against the database in both asp classic, vb.net, AND asp.net webforms that changing the schema right now is not realistically possible.

Asp.net - Using ExecuteQuery() With Entity Framework, Entity Class

Jan 16, 2011

I am trying to jump from ASP Classic to asp.net. I have followed tutorials to get Entity Framework and LINQ to connect to my test database, but I am having difficulties figuring out ExecuteQuery(). I believe the problem is that I need an "entity class" for my database, but I can't figure out how to do it. Here is my simple code:

Dim db as New TestModel.TestEntity
Dim results AS IEnumerable(OF ???) = db.ExecuteQuery(Of ???)("Select * from Table1")

From the microsoft example site, they use an entity class called Customers, but I don't understand what that means.

Entity Model Not Being Updated On SaveChanges?

Dec 1, 2011

I have a misunderstanding somewhere with the Entity Framework. This code is from my unit testing:

Public Sub UpdateRosterLinkTest()
Dim target As PlayerAdmin = New PlayerAdmin()
target.PlayerAdminManager = playerAdminTestManager
target.Team = playerAdminTestManager.GetAirForceMensBB()

[code]....

When I run this code, I can see the changes saved to the SQL Server this pulls from (RosterLink = Roster Link, like I set in the unit test).However, my unit test is failing, because team.RosterLink is still Nothing. The function GetAirForceMensBB() returns the Team with TeamId = 12434:

Function GetAirForceMensBB() As DAL.Team
Return (From team In Container.Teams Where team.TeamId = 12434).SingleOrDefault
End Function

I'm sure I'm using the entity framework incorrectly and it probably has something to do with the fact that I am calling the PlayerAdminTestManager in different places, but I don't understand why. Although, I set the PlayerAdminManager to be the PlayerAdminTestManager. PlayerAdminTestManager extends PlayerAdminManager, fyi.Why is team.RosterLink not showing the update from UpdateRosterLink?

EDIT:Container is my ObjectContext. This is how I access the information stored in the database.Container.Teams represents my Teams table.

Generate A Entity Model From SQL Server?

Feb 6, 2012

I am using MS Visual Basic Express 2010 and trying to generate "ADO.Net Entity Framework" entities from an existing local SQL Server Express database.

Entity Data Model And Insert With Identity Property

May 6, 2010

in a new project I thought I would try to integrate the new Entity Model Framework, but am having some issues/problems and would like to know if there is a solution or workaround that will let me insert a record into a table that has an identity property.At first I thougth it might simply recofnize the storedprocs that I have for insert/update/delte actions, and was a bit discapointed when generating the model ignored all my stored procs. So I thought wll heck maybe it just generates a nice insert method for me. Lets see.So I referenced my model and found that for the table (entity) there was an insert action (method) that had been generated, however what i found is that it explicitly added the primarly key field - which was based on an identity property and will not accept an explicit insert value.So I guess 2 questions

1. How do we work with identity properties

2. How can we take advantage of the performance and securtiy advantages that stored procs offer with SQL server?

Create FK To Model, From Aspnet Forms Validation Tables

Jan 17, 2012

I've recently created a MVC 3 ASP.net application (using VB). I have also created forms validation by running aspnet_regsql. I used this to create the table in the same database as my application uses. I am trying to work out how to create a new model, with a FK from the Users table. Do I have to reverse engineer the validation tables to create models in my application? right now, the tables only exist on the SQL 2008 database, as they were created by running the aspnet_regsql command, and do not exists as models in my ASP.net solution. Here is the code I have now, for a model I would like to add a FK to (as a one-to-many relationship):

Imports System.Data.Entity
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations

Asp.net Mvc - Entity Framework With Database?

Apr 21, 2012

Here are the entities that i have...

Public Class Account
Public Property AccountId As integer
Public Property AccountDescription As String
Public Property Transactions As List(Of Transaction)
End Class

[Code]...

i would like to make it suc that when i do "db.Account.find(1)" for example it also loads in the list of all transactions which have the coresponding AccountId. I'm not too sure what type of relationship this is?? anyway, right now i can do

Dim acct As Account = db.Account.Find(1) acct.Transactions = from ts in db.transactions select ts where ts.AccountId = acct.accountid but i know this is not the correct way, there must be a way to map this out so that entity can just load everything in one shot right?

Entity Data Framework 101

Sep 28, 2011

I am used to using datasets for my projects in terms of data access. I now set myself an easy app to work on in order to learn the entity data framework and how to retrieve & manipulate data.Can anyone guide me through on where to start, what are the advantages of this model, In what scenarios should I choose to use entity framework and what are the things (basis) I should now before starting.My datasets are working fine too. Are there any reasons for me not to stick with that way of accessing data? Or is this something to consider depending on the users of the website (for speed purposes etc.)

WPF With Entity Framework Or Linq?

Feb 8, 2011

I have some basic expirience in Visual Basic and programming Windows Forms programs. I know now that forms programs are no longer updated by Microsoft and that WPF is the way to go. No to mention the slicker interface you can create. I've also noticed that passing SQL strings to a database is no longer the standard either. It's either Entity Framwork or Linq.

So I am going for a fresh approach. I need to develop a program that will access a sql database and be accessed by about 10 concurrent users within the office. What's the best approach in general? Linq or Entity Framework? Also, could you recommend a book or two for someone who is new to WPF and Entity Framework? I do have some programming expirience, just none with WPF or the new ways of ADO.net 4.

C# - Column Sequence And The Entity Framework?

Dec 28, 2009

So, when you bind a collection of Entity objects to a grid component, the grid displays those fields in the sequential order they are found in the SQL Table they came from. This shows that the ordinal position of the fields are associated with their corresponding entity properties... somehow or other.

So here is the question: How can I obtain the table field ordinal position by reflecting over an Entity Framework Entity's properties? Let me tell you what I know and what I have tried. Apparently, each data field property in an EF Entity is decorated with a System.Runtime.Serialization.DataMemberAttribute. This attribute appears to have an Order property. However, I have discovered that this property does not contain what I am looking for. The value for all Data Properties in an Entity seems to be -1. What ever order is, it isn't ordinal position.
