如何在Entity Framework中为复合主键的特定列创建外键模型

Question

class1
{
    [key]
    public string id1 {get; set;}

    [Key]
    public string key2 {get; set;}
}

class2
{
    [foreignKey("class1")]
    public string class1Id{ get; set; }
}

Now here inside class2 I want to use only id1 column of class1 as foreign key.

How to do that?

If you prefer data annotations, just apply the ForeignKey attribute on the navigation property and provide a comma separated list with the FK property name

 class1{
    [key]
    public string id1 {get; set;}

    [Key]
    public string key2 {get; set;}
    }

    class2{

    public string id1 { get; set;}

    public string key2 { get; set;}

      [ForeignKey("id1,key2")] // <= the composite FK
      public virtual class1 class1{ get; set; }

    }

using fluent API configuration is much easier to understand and less error prone:

modelBuilder.Entity< class2>()
    .HasRequired(e => e. class1) 
    .HasForeignKey(e => new { e.id1, e.key2 });
