如何从ASP.NET Core中的父类实例检索嵌套类实例的数据？

Question

I am trying to modeling a class at school, and I end up with something like this:

public class Class
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public int Grade { get; set; }
    public Teacher ClassTeacher { get; set; }
}

This is the Teacher class:

public class Teacher
{
    public int ID { get; set; }

    [Display(Name = "First Name")]
    public string FirstName { get; set; }

    [Display(Name = "Last Name")]
    public string LastName { get; set; }

    [DataType(DataType.Date)]
    public DateTime Birthday { get; set; }  
}

When I use scaffolding, migrate and update the database, this is the structure Entity Framework built for me:

dbo.Class:
ID: int
ClassTeacherID: int
Grade: int

dbo.Teacher:
ID: int
Birthday: datetime2(7)
FirstName: nvarchar(MAX)
LastName: nvarchar(MAX)

I want to display the Teacher 's FirstName in Views\\Classes\\Details.cshtml , but the Model.ClassTeacher is null , even after I created a Teacher instance in the database and set ClassTeacherID to the newly created Teacher 's ID .

Looking for your helps.

I know it's been a while since the question has been written, but you should try to Include the object reference you want.

var @class = await _context.Class.Include("Teacher")
            .SingleOrDefaultAsync(m => m.ID == id);

Include will get the dependent object and put it back in your Class model. You can chain the Include directives if you have different referenced objects.

Note : You will have to add :

using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;

on top of your code to allow Include to work.
