实体框架：更新具有 IEnumerable 属性的实体时出错。 'Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbUpdateConcurrencyException'

Question

I'm working on my first webapi in ASP.NET Core. I have two entities:

public class Event : Entity
{
    private ISet<Ticket> _tickets = new HashSet<Ticket>();
    public string Name { get; protected set; }
    public string Description { get; protected set; }
    public DateTime StartDate { get; protected set; }
    public DateTime EndDate { get; protected set; }
    public DateTime CreatedAt { get; protected set; }
    public DateTime UpdatedAt { get; protected set; }
    public IEnumerable<Ticket> Tickets => _tickets;

    //.....

     public void AddTickets(int amount, decimal price)
    {
        var seating = _tickets.Count + 1;
        for (var i = 0; i < amount; i++)
        {
            _tickets.Add(new Ticket(this, seating, price));
            seating++;
        }
    }
 }

  public class Ticket : Entity
{
    public Guid EventId { get; protected set; }
    public decimal Price { get; protected set; }
    //... and other properties
}

When I'm trying to create new event and assign tickets to it:

public class EventController : Controller
{
   [HttpPost]
    public async Task<IActionResult> AddEvent([FromBody] CreateEventCommand createEventCommand)
    {
        createEventCommand.Id = Guid.NewGuid();
        await _eventService.AddAsync(createEventCommand.Id,
            createEventCommand.Name,
            createEventCommand.Description,
            createEventCommand.StartDate,
            createEventCommand.EndDate);

        await _eventService.AddTicketAsync(createEventCommand.Tickets,
            createEventCommand.Price,
            createEventCommand.Id);

        return Created($"/events/{createEventCommand.Name}", null);
        
    }
 }
 
 public class EventService : IEventService
 {
            public async Task AddAsync(Guid id, string name, string description, DateTime startDate, DateTime endDate)
    {
        var @event = await _eventRepository.GetAsync(id);
        if(@event != null)
        {
            throw new Exception($"Event with this id: {@event.Id} already exist");
        }

        var eventToAdd = new Event(id, name, description, startDate, endDate);
        await _eventRepository.AddAsync(eventToAdd);
    }

    public async Task AddTicketAsync(int amount, decimal price, Guid eventId)
    {
        var @event = await _eventRepository.GetAsync(eventId);
        if (@event == null)
        {
            throw new Exception($"Event with this id: {@event.Id} already exist");
        }

        @event.AddTickets(amount, price);
        await _eventRepository.UpdateAsync(@event);

    }
  }

 public class EventRepository : IEventRepository
 {
    public async Task AddAsync(Event @event)
    {
        _context.Events.Add(@event);
        await _context.SaveChangesAsync();
    }
    
     public async Task UpdateAsync(Event @event)
    {
        _context.Events.Update(@event);
        await _context.SaveChangesAsync();
    }
 }  

The query which is executed on Tickets table is

  UPDATE [Tickets] SET [EventId] = @p700, [Price] = @p701, [PurchasedAt] = @p702, [Seating] = @p703, [UserId] = @p704, [Username] = @p705
  WHERE [Id] = @p706;
  SELECT @@ROWCOUNT;

After that It throws an exception:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.DbUpdateConcurrencyException: Database operation expected to affect 1 row(s) but actually affected 0 row(s). Data may have been modified or deleted since entities were loaded.

My question is: shouldn't it be INSERT queries instead of UPDATE in this case and what could be a reason of concurrency problem in this case? I'm new to .NET and concurency in general, would be grateful for any help.

Answer 1

In your AddTicketAsync method you retrieve an attached entity of your Event object.

You should be able to update it by calling your AddTickets method following by a save changes.

 @event.AddTickets(amount, price);
 _eventRepository.your_context.SaveChangesAsync();

In this way you will save the state of your updated Event Entity

You got a concurrency error because your are trying to update an attached entity. The following post could help you How to update record using entity framework core?
