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?

myContext.Entry(country).State = EntityState.Added;

非常感谢,

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.
