I have an EF model to is connected 1 to 1 for many tables but I am having trouble connecting a 1 to many table. Currently using EF6 on .Net 4.8. The error I am recieving is "Multiplicity is not valid in Role '' in relationship 'Login_Users'. Because the Dependent Role refers to the key properties, the upper bound of the multiplicity of the Dependent Role must be '1'"
The main table is
Users
public partial class Users
{
public Users()
{
this.Login = new HashSet<Login>();
this.Phone = new HashSet<Phone>();
}
[Key]
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public System.DateTime BirthDate { get; set; }
public int LastFourSSN { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> AddressId { get; set; }
public virtual Address Address { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Login> Login { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Phone> Phone { get; set; }
}
One to one tables
public partial class Login
{
public Login()
{
this.Login_Track = new HashSet<Login_Track>();
this.Policy = new HashSet<Policy>();
}
public string Username { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }
[Key, ForeignKey("Users")]
public Nullable<int> UserId { get; set; }
public System.DateTime CreationDate { get; set; }
public Nullable<System.DateTime> LastLoginDate { get; set; }
public virtual Users Users { get; set; }
}
Address
public partial class Address
{
public Address()
{
this.Users = new HashSet<Users>();
}
[Key, ForeignKey("Users")]
public int Id { get; set; }
public string AddressLine1 { get; set; }
public string AddressLine2 { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string County { get; set; }
public string State { get; set; }
public string PostalCode { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Users> Users { get; set; }
}
1 to many table
public partial class Phone
{
[Key]
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Number { get; set; }
public string Type { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("Users")]
public Nullable<int> UserId { get; set; }
public virtual Users Users { get; set; }
}
I have some data from Facebook API and I need to store them on Azure SQL Db.
I created the models and I'm trying to set Foreign Keys to link the tables but I always have some errors.
My models:
public class FacebookDataUser
{
[Key]
[JsonProperty("id")]
public string FacebookDataUserId { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string birthday { get; set; }
public string email { get; set; }
public virtual Hometown hometown { get; set; }
public virtual Location location { get; set; }
public virtual Events events { get; set; }
public virtual Likes likes { get; set; }
public virtual Age_Range age_range { get; set; }
public string gender { get; set; }
}
public class Hometown
{
[Key]
[JsonProperty("id")]
public string HometownId { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string FacebookDataUserId { get; set; }
public FacebookDataUser FacebookDataUser { get; set; }
}
public class Location
{
[Key]
[JsonProperty("id")]
public string LocationId { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string FacebookDataUserId { get; set; }
public FacebookDataUser FacebookDataUser { get; set; }
}
public class Events

public string EventsId { get; set; }
public Datum[] data { get; set; }
public string FacebookDataUserId { get; set; }
public FacebookDataUser FacebookDataUser { get; set; }
}
public class Datum
{
[Key]
public string DatumId { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public DateTime start_time { get; set; }
public string PlaceId { get; set; }
public Place Place { get; set; }
public int attending_count { get; set; }
public string type { get; set; }
public string rsvp_status { get; set; }
public DateTime end_time { get; set; }
public string FacebookDataUserId { get; set; }
public FacebookDataUser FacebookDataUser { get; set; }
}
public class Place
{
[Key]
public string PlaceId { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string LocationEventId { get; set; }
public LocationEvent location { get; set; }
public string DatumId { get; set; }
public Datum Datum { get; set; }
}
public class LocationEvent
{
[Key]
public string LocationEventId { get; set; }
public string city { get; set; }
public string country { get; set; }
public float latitude { get; set; }
public float longitude { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
public string street { get; set; }
public string zip { get; set; }
public string FacebookDataUserId { get; set; }
public FacebookDataUser FacebookDataUser { get; set; }
}
public class Likes
{
// Doesn't have ID for Likes, but I need to have a Key in all classes.
// If I don't have, I get an exception
[Key]
public string LikesId { get; set; }
public Datum1[] data { get; set; }
public string FacebookDataUserId { get; set; }
public FacebookDataUser FacebookDataUser { get; set; }
}
public class Datum1
{
[Key]
public string Datum1Id { get; set; }
public string category { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public int fan_count { get; set; }
public string website { get; set; }
public string LocationId { get; set; }
public LocationEvent location { get; set; }
public string[] emails { get; set; }
public string FacebookDataUserId { get; set; }
public FacebookDataUser FacebookDataUser { get; set; }
}
public class Age_Range
{
// Doesn't have ID for Age_Range, but I need to have a Key in all classes.
// If I don't have, I get an exception
[Key]
public string Age_RangeId { get; set; }
public int min { get; set; }
public string FacebookDataUserId { get; set; }
public FacebookDataUser FacebookDataUser { get; set; }
}
I get this exception:
Unable to determine the principal end of an association between the types 'ApiGroma.Models.Age_Range' and 'ApiGroma.Models.FacebookDataUser'. The principal end of this association must be explicitly configured using either the relationship fluent API or data annotations.
If I add [Required] on Age_Range, I get this exception from Facebook API:
"modelState": {
"facebookDataUser.age_range.FacebookDataUser": [
"The FacebookDataUser field is required."
So, I tried to fill the values of Foreign Keys "by hand" before the method Add in my [HttpPost] method.
facebookDataUser.hometown.FacebookDataUserId = facebookDataUser.FacebookDataUserId;
facebookDataUser.location.FacebookDataUserId = facebookDataUser.FacebookDataUserId;
facebookDataUser.age_range.FacebookDataUserId = facebookDataUser.FacebookDataUserId;
facebookDataUser.likes.FacebookDataUserId = facebookDataUser.FacebookDataUserId;
facebookDataUser.events.FacebookDataUserId = facebookDataUser.FacebookDataUserId;
db.FacebookDataUsers.Add(facebookDataUser);
But I keep receiving the exception.
What's the proper way to do this?
It's been 2 days since I began looking for a solution, reading Microsoft blogs and others, but I can't fix this.
OBS: I am creating the database inside the context class.
Database.SetInitializer<MobileServiceContext>(new CreateDatabaseIfNotExists<MobileServiceContext>());
As I mentioned in the comments you must have your users into the database before inserting data to other tables related to those users (foreign keys).
Insert into table with foreign key
#EDIT: as promised, here is some code. I recommend you updating your table to accept null values in public virtual Hometown hometown { get; set; } and others.
public class FacebookDataUser
{
public string FacebookDataUserId { get; set; } // You already have the primary key you need
public string name { get; set; }
public string birthday { get; set; }
public string email { get; set; }
public virtual Hometown hometown { get; set; }
public virtual Location location { get; set; }
public virtual Events events { get; set; }
public virtual Likes likes { get; set; }
public virtual Age_Range age_range { get; set; }
public string gender { get; set; }
public void InsertUser(FacebookDataUser Data, Likes MoreData)
{
using (SqlConnection myCon = new SqlConnection("connection_string"))
{
using (SqlCommand query = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO users_table (#ID, ...) VALUES (ID, ...)", myCon))
{
query.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ID", Data.FacebookDataUserId);
// add more parameters...
try
{
myCon.Open();
query.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
throw e;
}
finally
{
myCon.Close();
}
}
using (SqlCommand query = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO likes_table (..., #USERID) VALUES (..., USERID)", myCon))
{
// add more parameters...
query.Parameters.AddWithValue("#USERID", Data.FacebookDataUserId); // you won't get any exception related to the foreign key because this user is already in the parent table
try
{
myCon.Open();
query.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw e;
}
finally
{
myCon.Close();
}
}
}
}
}
I didn't run a query to get the user ID as I mentioned because you already have it, just organizing the way you run your methods should be enough.
So, after some changes and compairing the codes, i got it working.

I want to have a one to many relationship in between instructor and course. How can I achieve it? Below is what I have as of now.
public class Instructor
{
//[Key]
public int id { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string address { get; set; }
public string email { get; set; }
}
public class Course
{
//[Key]
public int id { get; set; }
[DisplayName("Course")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "CSExxx")]
public string progId { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string semester { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public virtual Instructor instructor { get; set; }
}
You need to add a virtual collection of Course to Instructor
public class Instructor
{
//[Key]
public int id { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string address { get; set; }
public string email { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Course> Courses { get; set; }
}
public class Course
{
//[Key]
public int id { get; set; }
[DisplayName("Course")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "CSExxx")]
public string progId { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string semester { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public virtual Instructor instructor { get; set; }
}
In OnModelCreating in your DataContext
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.Entity<Instructor>().HasMany(i => i.Courses).WithRequired(c => c.Instructor).HasForeignKey(c => c.instructor).WillCascadeOnDelete(true);
}
my model classes first:
public class Person
{
[Required, Key]
public int ID { get; set; }
[Required]
public string Name { get; set; }
[Required]
public string LearntSkillsAndLevelOfSkills { get; set; }
public string ProfileImage { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string PhoneNr { get; set; }
[Required]
public string Email { get; set; }
public string Hobbys { get; set; }
public string SkillsToLearn { get; set; }
public string Stand { get; set; }
public int YearsOfWorkExperience { get; set; }
public string HobbyProjectICTRelated { get; set; }
public string ExtraInfo { get; set; }
public string Summary { get; set; }
public int UserId { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("UserId")]
public virtual UserProfile profile { get; set; }
}
[Table("UserProfile")]
public class UserProfile
{
[Key]
[DatabaseGeneratedAttribute(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int UserId { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> ID { get; set; }
public virtual Person personprofile { get; set; }
}
when i run this however it gives me this exception: The principal end of this association must be explicitly configured
i've searched this error but it doesn't clarify it for me... so i absolutely have no clue how to fix this. Basically i want to link my Person class to the Userprofiles so that i can create a login mechanism that automatically lets 1 person who makes an account on the site get 1 Profile to Edit to his own information. He's however not allowed to modify other people their accounts.
I hope this makes my problem clear and that somebody can help me :). i'm using EF 6 btw and i get the error in the class InitializeSimpleMembershipAttribute that comes standard with the MVC example of ASP.net
Greetings and thanks in advance,
Marijn
I managed to get it working with these codes in the models:
[Table("UserProfile")]
public class UserProfile
{
[Key, DatabaseGeneratedAttribute(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int UserId { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
public virtual Person personprofile { get; set; }
}
public class Person
{
[ForeignKey("profile"), Key]
public int UserId { get; set; }
[Required]
public string Name { get; set; }
[Required]
public string LearntSkillsAndLevelOfSkills { get; set; }
public string ProfileImage { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string PhoneNr { get; set; }
[Required]
public string Email { get; set; }
public string Hobbys { get; set; }
public string SkillsToLearn { get; set; }
public string Stand { get; set; }
public int YearsOfWorkExperience { get; set; }
public string HobbyProjectICTRelated { get; set; }
public string ExtraInfo { get; set; }
public string Summary { get; set; }
public UserProfile profile { get; set; }
}
I'm trying to map two entities connected via linker table.
OrganizationVM = Organization -|---< AddressLinker >---|- Address
one to many many to one
My goal is to get Organization ViewModel with State property from Address entity.

Does anyone know how do I do it?
Thanks!
