I've an old programm with edmx. Inside this one, I've linked a class (Table) To a View (Table/filter on a value of a column) I want migrate this project to code first. I copy/paste the project delete edmx file and generate models from an existing database. All is good except this link.
<Table("JoinAffectation")>
partial public Class JointAffectation
public property Id as Long
public IdRecherche as Integer 'the link with my view
<NotMapped>
<ForeignKey("Id")>
PUBLIC OVERRIDABLE PROperty RechercheJoint as ViewRechercheJoint
But When I try to use function of automatical sort/filter using expression I've error : The specified type member 'RechercheJoint' is not supported in LINQ to Entities. Only initializers, entity members, and entity navigation properties are supported.
If I removed I error saying I don't same comumn and property... Also , How Can I stipulate RechercheJoint is mapped on IdRecherche
thanks for your help
Finally Using modelbuilder, I can join my view and my table like in edmx
<Table("JointAffectation")>
Partial Public Class JointAffectation
Public Property Id As Long
Public Property IdTypeJoint As Long
Public Property IdRecherche As Integer
Public Overridable Property JointType As JointType
<ForeignKey("Id")>
Public Overridable Property RechercheJoint As ViewRechercheJoint
End Class
<Table("ViewRechercheJoint")>
Partial Public Class ViewRechercheJoint
<Key>
<DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.None)>
Public Property Id As Integer
<StringLength(50)>
Public Property Libelle As String
<ForeignKey("IdRecherche")>
Public Overridable Property JointAffectations As ICollection(Of JointAffectation)
End Class
modelBuilder.Entity(Of JointAffectation)() _
.HasRequired(Function(e) e.RechercheJoint) _
.WithMany(Function(e) e.JointAffectations) _
.HasForeignKey(Function(e) e.IdRecherche)
