EF 4.1 Code First – 在使用新的上下文/通过WCF时更改为未更新的FK值

我在WCF上使用EF Code First.因此,当我保存实体时,它正在使用新的上下文.

如果我检索一个实体,然后更新它以便它引用一个不同的实体,我发现它保存了原始的外键值.

例如,我检索公司类,其中国家是英国.然后我将其更改为USA并将其传递回服务.当我检查表时,FK仍然设置为英国.

如何更新外键?

最佳答案 这是分离实体和独立关联的众所周知的问题.问题是将实体设置为已修改不会将关系设置为已修改.关于所有相关问题的详细描述
is here.答案与EFv4和ObjectContext API有关,但EFv4.1只是它的包装,因此含义相同.

此问题的根源是,如果您使用分离的实体,则必须说EF关系已更改. EF不会为您做任何假设. DbContext API的问题更糟糕,因为DbContext API doesn’t offer methods to change state of independent association所以你必须恢复到ObjectContext API并使用ObjectStateManager.ChangeRelationshipState.

如果您不使用远程调用作为WCF,还有其他方法可以处理它 – 它只是为了使其工作必须执行的命令顺序,但在使用WCF时,您无法在设置关系之前附加实体等理论上你可以,但它会完全改变你的服务合同和消息编排.

因此,在这种情况下,通常最简单的解决方案是使用foreign key association instead of independent association.外键关联不会被跟踪为具有状态的独立对象(作为独立关联),因此将实体的状态更改为已修改将正常工作.

public class Company
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string CompanyName { get; set; }
    public int HomeCountryId { get; set; }
    public Country HomeCountry { get; set; }
}


HasRequired(x => x.HomeCountry)
    .WithMany()
    .HasForeignKey(x => x.HomeCountryId);

任何其他解决方案是关于首先从DB加载旧对象并将更改合并到附加对象 – 这就是我一直在做的事情,一旦你开始处理多对多关系或删除一个关系,你将不得不这样做多对多的关系.
