我得到这个错误时,我GetById()在一个实体,然后设置子实体的集合到我的新列表,来自MVC视图。
操作失败
关系是无法改变的
因为一个或多个外键
Properties是非空的。当一个
关系发生了变化
相关外键属性设置为
空值。如果外键是
不支持空值,新建
关系必须被定义
必须分配外键属性

我不太理解这句话:
这种关系无法改变
因为一个或多个外键
Properties是非空的。
我为什么要改变两个实体之间的关系?它应该在整个应用程序的生命周期内保持不变。
发生异常的代码只是简单地将集合中修改过的子类分配给现有的父类。这将有望满足取消子类,增加新的和修改。我本以为实体框架处理这个。
代码行可以提炼为:
var thisParent = _repo.GetById(1);
thisParent.ChildItems = modifiedParent.ChildItems();
_repo.Save();
You should delete old child items thisParent.ChildItems one by one manually. Entity Framework doesn't do that for you. It finally cannot decide what you want to do with the old child items - if you want to throw them away or if you want to keep and assign them to other parent entities. You must tell Entity Framework your decision. But one of these two decisions you HAVE to make since the child entities cannot live alone without a reference to any parent in the database (due to the foreign key constraint). That's basically what the exception says.
Edit
如果子项目可以添加,更新和删除,我会做什么:
public void UpdateEntity(ParentItem parent)
{
// Load original parent including the child item collection
var originalParent = _dbContext.ParentItems
.Where(p => p.ID == parent.ID)
.Include(p => p.ChildItems)
.SingleOrDefault();
// We assume that the parent is still in the DB and don't check for null
// Update scalar properties of parent,
// can be omitted if we don't expect changes of the scalar properties
var parentEntry = _dbContext.Entry(originalParent);
parentEntry.CurrentValues.SetValues(parent);
foreach (var childItem in parent.ChildItems)
{
var originalChildItem = originalParent.ChildItems
.Where(c => c.ID == childItem.ID && c.ID != 0)
.SingleOrDefault();
// Is original child item with same ID in DB?
if (originalChildItem != null)
{
// Yes -> Update scalar properties of child item
var childEntry = _dbContext.Entry(originalChildItem);
childEntry.CurrentValues.SetValues(childItem);
}
else
{
// No -> It's a new child item -> Insert
childItem.ID = 0;
originalParent.ChildItems.Add(childItem);
}
}
// Don't consider the child items we have just added above.
// (We need to make a copy of the list by using .ToList() because
// _dbContext.ChildItems.Remove in this loop does not only delete
// from the context but also from the child collection. Without making
// the copy we would modify the collection we are just interating
// through - which is forbidden and would lead to an exception.)
foreach (var originalChildItem in
originalParent.ChildItems.Where(c => c.ID != 0).ToList())
{
// Are there child items in the DB which are NOT in the
// new child item collection anymore?
if (!parent.ChildItems.Any(c => c.ID == originalChildItem.ID))
// Yes -> It's a deleted child item -> Delete
_dbContext.ChildItems.Remove(originalChildItem);
}
_dbContext.SaveChanges();
}
注意:这不是测试。它假设子项集合的类型是ICollection。(我通常有IList,然后代码看起来有点不同。)为了保持简单,我还去掉了所有存储库抽象。
我不知道这是否是一个好的解决方案,但我相信必须按照这些思路做一些艰苦的工作,以处理导航集合中的各种更改。我也很乐意看到一种更简单的方法。
我使用了Mosh的解决方案,但我不清楚如何在代码中正确地实现组合键。
这就是解决方案:
public class Holiday
{
[Key, Column(Order = 0), DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int HolidayId { get; set; }
[Key, Column(Order = 1), ForeignKey("Location")]
public LocationEnum LocationId { get; set; }
public virtual Location Location { get; set; }
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
我也解决了我的问题与Mosh的答案,我认为PeterB的答案是有点,因为它使用枚举作为外键。请记住,在添加这段代码之后,您将需要添加一个新的迁移。
我也可以推荐这篇博客的其他解决方案:

代码:
public class Child
{
[Key, Column(Order = 0), DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Heading { get; set; }
//Add other properties here.
[Key, Column(Order = 1)]
public int ParentId { get; set; }
public virtual Parent Parent { get; set; }
}
