使用C#与实体框架CTP 4的域建模问题

Question

我正在尝试建立一个包含照片集的相册.每个专辑都有一组照片和一张拇指照片.这就是我所拥有的,但EF似乎并不喜欢它:

public class Album : IEntity {
        private DateTime _dateCreated;

        public Album() {
            _dateCreated = SystemTime.Now();
            Photos = new List<Photo>();
        }
        public long Id { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public DateTime DateCreated
        {
            get { return _dateCreated; }
            set { _dateCreated = value; }
        }
        public virtual Site Site { get; set; }
        public virtual Photo Thumbnail { get; set; }
        public virtual ICollection<Photo> Photos { get; set; }
    }

public class Photo : IEntity {
            public Photo() {
                _dateCreated = SystemTime.Now();
            }
            private DateTime _dateCreated;
            public long Id { get; set; }
            public string Caption { get; set; }
            public string FileName { get; set; }
            public DateTime DateCreated
            {
                get { return _dateCreated; }
                set { _dateCreated = value; }
            }
            public virtual Album Album { get; set; }

        }

 public class AlbumMap : EntityConfiguration<Album>
    {
        public AlbumMap()
        {
            HasKey(x => x.Id);
            Property(x => x.Id).IsIdentity();
            Property(x => x.Location).IsVariableLength().HasMaxLength(80);
            Property(x => x.Name).IsVariableLength().HasMaxLength(80).IsRequired();
            Property(x => x.DateCreated);
            MapSingleType(a => new
            {
                a.Id,
                SiteId = a.Site.Id,
                ThumbnailId = a.Thumbnail.Id,
                a.Location,
                a.Name,
                a.DateCreated
            }).ToTable("Albums");
        }
    }

public class PhotoMap : EntityConfiguration<Photo>
    {
        public PhotoMap()
        {
            HasKey(x => x.Id);
            Property(x => x.Id).IsIdentity();
            Property(x => x.FileName).IsVariableLength().HasMaxLength(255).IsRequired();
            Property(x => x.Caption).IsVariableLength().HasMaxLength(255);
            Property(x => x.DateCreated);
            MapSingleType(a => new
            {
                a.Id,
                SiteAlbumId = a.Album.Id,
                a.FileName,
                a.Caption,
                a.DateCreated
            }).ToTable("AlbumPhotos");
        }
    }

我错过了什么或看起来不错吗？我期待EF在我的数据库中生成1对多,但它不断在Album和Photos(Album_Photos)之间创建一个参考表,但这不应该是多对多的.任何帮助都会很棒.

Answer 1

按照惯例,EF代码首先就不能建立在典型的一个链接表许多情况下,你得到它,因为相册和照片对象之间的关联已经采取EF作为一种多对多的关联的原因:
每张专辑都有一组照片,每张照片都有一组相册,这张照片是缩略图(虽然相关的导航属性没有在Photo类中明确指定,只有Album有Thumbnail属性).

解:

从EF CTP4开始,解决这个问题的唯一方法是利用Fluent API,但在此之前,我会稍微修改一下你的模型,并为你的模型添加两个显式的FK,以便为你的对象提供最大的灵活性.他们是AlbumId在Photo和ThumbnailId上Album:

public class Photo {        
    public long Id { get; set; }
    public string Caption { get; set; }
    public string FileName { get; set; }
    public DateTime DateCreated { get; set; }

    public long AlbumId { get; set; }
    public virtual Album Album { get; set; }
}

public class Album {
    public long Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Location { get; set; }
    public DateTime DateCreated { get; set; }

    public long ThumbnailId { get; set; }
    public virtual Photo Thumbnail { get; set; }

    public virtual ICollection<Photo> Photos { get; set; }
}

public class PhotoMap : EntityConfiguration<Photo> {
    public PhotoMap() 
    {
        this.HasRequired(p => p.Album)
            .WithMany(a => a.Photos)
            .HasConstraint((p, a) => p.AlbumId == a.Id);

        Property(x => x.FileName).IsVariableLength().HasMaxLength(255)
                                                    .IsRequired();
        Property(x => x.Caption).IsVariableLength().HasMaxLength(255);
        MapSingleType(p => new {
            p.Id,
            SiteAlbumId = p.AlbumId,
            p.FileName,
            p.Caption,
            p.DateCreated
        })
        .ToTable("Photo");
    }
}

public class AlbumMap : EntityConfiguration<Album> {
    public AlbumMap()
    {
        this.HasRequired(a => a.Thumbnail)
            .WithMany()
            .WillCascadeOnDelete(false)
            .HasConstraint((a, p) => p.Id == a.ThumbnailId);

        Property(x => x.Location).IsVariableLength().HasMaxLength(80);
        Property(x => x.Name).IsVariableLength().HasMaxLength(80).IsRequired();
        MapSingleType(a => new {
            a.Id,
            a.ThumbnailId,
            a.Location,
            a.Name,
            a.DateCreated
        })
        .ToTable("Album");
    }
}

这导致以下所需的模式:
