I have a xml file that i have created by serializing a object with the serializer.Serialize() method.
The xml file has a structure simular to this:
<book id="1">
<section id="1">
<chapter id="1">
<line id="1">
text...
</line>
<line id="2">
more text...
</line>
</chapter>
<chapter id="2">
<line id="1">
text...
</line>
</chapter>
</section>
</book>
I would like to move the created xml to a MSSQL database and use the entity framework to handle database in a MVC site.
I have tried to create the DB via EF in a MVC project.
What i did was, that i loaded the data into a object. Then, using the dbcontext i tried to write data into new objects in the db context. Everything went "ok", but when i called db.SaveChanges(), no data got saved in the database.
Any help on how to solve my problem would be very nice.
Code example:
// THE DBCONTEXT
public class BookContext : DbContext
{
public DbSet<DbBook> Books { get; set; }
public DbSet<DbSection> Sections { get; set; }
public DbSet<DbBook> Books { get; set; }
public DbSet<DbChapter> Chapters { get; set; }
public DbSet<DbVers> Verses { get; set; }
public DbSet<DbCrossRefence> CrossReferences { get; set; }
}
// TRYING TO WRITE DATA TO DB
Book xmlBook = Book.Load("C://book.xml");
using (var db = new BookContext())
{
DbBook book = new DbBook();
book.Id = "My book";
if (book.Sections == null)
{
book.Sections = new List<DbSection>();
}
foreach (Section s in xmlBook.Sections)
{
DbSection section = new DbSection();
section.Id = s.Id.ToString();
if (section.Books == null)
{
section.Books = new List<DbBook>();
}
foreach (Book b in s.Books)
{
DbBook book = new DbBook();
book.Id = b.Id;
if (book.Chapters == null)
{
book.Chapters = new List<DbChapter>();
}
foreach (Chapter c in b.Chapters)
{
DbChapter chapter = new DbChapter();
chapter.Id = c.Id;
if (chapter.Verses == null)
{
chapter.Verses = new List<DbVers>();
}
foreach (Vers v in c.Verses)
{
DbVers vers = new DbVers();
vers.Id = v.Id;
vers.Content = v.Content;
if (vers.CrossReferences == null)
{
vers.CrossReferences = new List<DbCrossRefence>();
}
foreach (CrossReference cr in v.CrossReferences)
{
DbCrossRefence crossreference = new DbCrossRefence();
crossreference.RefId = cr.RefId;
crossreference.Id = cr.Id;
crossreference.Book = cr.Book;
crossreference.Chapter = cr.Chapter;
try
{
crossreference.Vers = cr.Vers;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
vers.CrossReferences.Add(crossreference);
}
chapter.Verses.Add(vers);
}
book.Chapters.Add(chapter);
}
section.Books.Add(book);
}
book.Sections.Add(section);
}
db.SaveChanges();
}
i manage to get it working now :-)
What i did for starters, was to save the data to the database a little at a time. First the book. Then the chapters. and so on, and so on.
And i move the:
db.SaveChanges()
into the nested foreach loops, so that data got saved to the database while looping, insteed of waiting until the end. I suspect that it was just to much data to handle.
