I have a class that gets arranged into a hierarchy, such as this:
class Item
{
[Key]
public int ID {get;set;}
public string PropA {get;set;}
public string PropB {get;set;}
public Virtual ICollection<Item> Children {get;set;}
}
This works great, and EF creates a Item_ID key to identify the parent. I am exporting this data via my MVC app and need to access this key however.
How can I access the Parent ID, from an Item?
I tried [InverseProperty] tag, but it seemed like it wanted to create yet another key -- How can I get it to use the existing Item_ID field that is already in my database and working properly with my Children navigation property?
Thanks!
Okay, I had to change the name of my database column frmo Item_ID to Parent_ID manually, then everything worked. I have the following:
[InverseProperty("Parent")]
public virtual ICollection<Item> Children { get; set; }
[InverseProperty("Contents")]
public virtual Item Parent { get; set; }
I think you would have to add a
public virtual Item Parent {get;set;}
