实体数据库向数据库添加新用户和其他相关数据

Question

嘿。 Nooby 问题，但对 Entity 来说是新问题。

我正在尝试在一些附加表中创建一个新用户对象和一些详细信息，这些表具有新创建的用户 ID 的外键。

我尝试在一次往返中完成此操作。我是否必须先将用户添加到数据库然后返回，在其他对象上设置用户 ID 并添加它们。这是实体模型和代码：

            using (var context = new ServicesEntities())
        {
            newUser = new UsersTable();

            newUser.Address = user.UserDetails.Address;
            newUser.City = user.UserDetails.City;
            newUser.Country = user.UserDetails.Country;
            newUser.Email = user.Email.EmailString;
            newUser.FirstName = user.UserDetails.FirstName;
            newUser.LastName = user.UserDetails.LastName;
            newUser.State = user.UserDetails.State;
            newUser.Zip = user.UserDetails.Zip;

            context.UsersTables.AddObject(newUser);
            context.SaveChanges();
        }

        using (var context = new ServicesEntities())
        {                               
            var referralDetails = new UserReferrals();
            referralDetails.CreatedThruServiceId = 1; // todo don't make this an absolute 1
            referralDetails.ReferralEmail = user.ReferralDetails.ReferralEmail;
            referralDetails.TwoPlusTwoHandle = user.ReferralDetails.TwoPlusTwoHandle;
            referralDetails.UserId = newUser.UserId;               

            context.UserReferrals.AddObject(referralDetails);

            context.SaveChanges();           // THIS WORKS FINE!    
        }

        using (var context = new ServicesEntities())
        {
            var credentials = new UserCredentials();
            credentials.CreatedOn = DateTime.Now;
            credentials.EmailValidated = false;
            //credentials.EmailValidatedOn = null;
            credentials.FailedLoginAttempts = 0;
            credentials.IsLockedOut = false;
            //credentials.LastValidLogin = null;
            credentials.Password = user.Password.PasswordString;
            credentials.PermissionId = 1; // todo don't make this an absolute 1 = user
            credentials.SuccessfulLoginAttempts = 0;
            credentials.UserId = newUser.UserId;        ;

            context.UserCredentials.AddObject(credentials);

            context.SaveChanges(); // THIS ONE CRAPS OUT!
        }

当我运行它时，我在运行 SaveChanges() 时得到以下异常：

{"a 中的依赖属性 ReferenceConstraint 映射到一个 商店生成的列。柱子： '用户 ID'。"}

注意：根据书中的示例，用一些略有不同的代码对此进行了更新。

注意 2：我已将问题范围缩小到添加凭据。

注意 3：修复了这个问题，我不小心在我的 UserCredentials 用户 ID 上设置了 AUTO-INCREMENT。如果有人在这里工作代码：

public POCO.User AddNewUserToDb(User user)
        {
           if (IsDuplicateUser(user.Email.EmailString))
            {
                throw new DuplicateNameException("This email is already taken.");
            }

            UsersTable newUser;

            using (var context = new ServicesEntities())
            {
                newUser = new UsersTable();

                newUser.Address = user.UserDetails.Address;
                newUser.City = user.UserDetails.City;
                newUser.Country = user.UserDetails.Country;
                newUser.Email = user.Email.EmailString;
                newUser.FirstName = user.UserDetails.FirstName;
                newUser.LastName = user.UserDetails.LastName;
                newUser.State = user.UserDetails.State;
                newUser.Zip = user.UserDetails.Zip;

                var referralDetails = new UserReferrals();
                referralDetails.CreatedThruServiceId = 1; // todo don't make this an absolute 1
                referralDetails.ReferralEmail = user.ReferralDetails.ReferralEmail;
                referralDetails.TwoPlusTwoHandle = user.ReferralDetails.TwoPlusTwoHandle;
                //referralDetails.UserId = newUser.UserId;

                var credentials = new UserCredentials();
                credentials.CreatedOn = DateTime.Now;
                credentials.EmailValidated = false;
                //credentials.EmailValidatedOn = null;
                credentials.FailedLoginAttempts = 0;
                credentials.IsLockedOut = false;
                //credentials.LastValidLogin = null;
                credentials.Password = user.Password.PasswordString;
                credentials.PermissionId = 1; // todo don't make this an absolute 1 = user
                credentials.SuccessfulLoginAttempts = 0;
                //credentials.UserId = newUser.UserId; ;

                newUser.Credentials = credentials;
                newUser.ReferralDetails = referralDetails;

                context.UsersTables.AddObject(newUser);
                context.SaveChanges();
            }

            user.UserId = newUser.UserId;

            return user;     

Answer 1

尝试将相关记录直接添加到UserTable记录中：

newUser.Credentials.Add(credentials);
newUser.ReferralDetails.Add(referralDetails);

不要设置任何 ID。保存时会自动设置。

编辑：顺便说一句。确保 UserCredentials 表中的 UserId 列未设置为在数据库中自动生成。

Answer 3

EF4 将允许您将外键值包含为实体的标量属性。确保在创建 EDM 时选中“包括外键”复选框。

看看您的模型，您似乎已经这样做了。只需显式设置外键值，无需往返。
