映射具有不同名称的外键

Question

I have the following model:

public class Task
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public int UseraccountId { get; set; }
    public virtual Useraccount Useraccount { get; set; }
}

The useraccountId is my foreign key showing to my useraccount entity/model. The entity framework can map this foreign key to the virtual property because it removes the "Id", so "useraccountId" becomes "useraccount" -> mapping to "Useraccount". What if I want to rename the foreign key "useraccountId" to "creatorId"? How can I now tell the Entity framework to map this foreign key to the virtual Useraccount property?

Answer 1

Use the ForeignKey attribute.

public class Task
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public int CreatorId { get; set; }

    [ForeignKey("CreatorId")]
    public virtual Useraccount Useraccount { get; set; }
}
