I have 2 tables in ms sql server 2008 R2, one of which has foreign key relation to the other
pretty simple:
tableA
prefix nchar(10)
value nchar(50)
tableB
prefix nchar(10)
value nchar(50)
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[tableB]
WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_TableA_TableB] FOREIGN KEY([prefix])
REFERENCES [dbo].[TableA] ([prefix])
I fill in data in the tables using the management studio edit table. ensuring each prefix in tableB
has a matching prefix in tableA
.
Then I import the tables into visual studio C# to create an entity framework model. Everything seem to work fine until I start to reference data in tableA
from tableB
using the navigation handle, it comes up empty handed.
ie tableB.tableA
s come out as null.
Is there a step that needs to be done to update foreign key relations in entity framework and/or ms sql server?
To help others with a similar problem, I am posting what I believe is the solution. Turns out I assumed references were loaded automatically in the Entity Framework. In order to get updated, references need to be explicitly loaded like this
if (!tableB.tableAs.IsLoaded)
tableB.tableAs.Load();
