90 Last entity: Book with One to many relations (Wpf, Xamarin) - chempkovsky/CS2WPF-and-CS2XAMARIN GitHub Wiki

According to the Database structure (https://github.com/chempkovsky/CS2WPF-and-CS2XAMARIN/wiki/05-database-structure-for-which-we-are-creating-sample-application)

And according to the rules defined in the article "06 Development Process Cycle" (https://github.com/chempkovsky/CS2WPF/wiki/06-The-development-process-cycle)

we can continue with only entity: Book

Let's continue with Book

  • Step #1:
    • Run Visual Studio and Open “WpfDemo” solution
      • Right Click “Literature” of the “Dm01Entity”-project
      • Select “Add/Class” menu item
      • In the dialog enter the name for the class
      • LitBook
      • Click “Add”
  • Step #2:
    • Open LitBook file and modify the body of the class as it is shown on the slide
    public class LitBook
    {
        [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
        [Display(Description = "Row id", Name = "Id of the Book", Prompt = "Id of the Book", ShortName = "Book Id")]
        public int BookId { get; set; }

        [Display(Description = "Title of the Literary Book", Name = "Title of the Literary Book", Prompt = "Enter the title of the Literary Book", ShortName = "Book Title")]
        [Required]
        [StringLength(55, MinimumLength = 3)]
        public string BookTitle { get; set; }

        [Display(Description = "Publication Date", Name = "Publication Date", Prompt = "Enter Publication Date", ShortName = "Publication Date")]
        public DateTime PublicationDate { get; set; }

        [Display(Description = "Book Price", Name = "Book Price", Prompt = "Enter Book Price", ShortName = "Book Price")]
        [DataType(DataType.Currency)]
        public Double Price { get; set; }

        [Display(Description = "Row id", Name = "Id of the Publisher", Prompt = "Enter Id of the Publisher", ShortName = "Publisher Id")]
        [Required]
        public int PublisherIdRef { get; set; }
        public LitPublisher Publisher { get; set; }

        [Display(Description = "Row id", Name = "Id of the Manuscript", Prompt = "Id of the Manuscript", ShortName = "Manuscript Id")]
        [Required]
        public int ManuscriptIdRef { get; set; }
        public LitManuscript Manuscript { get; set; }

        [Display(Description = "Row id", Name = "Id of the edition", Prompt = "Enter Id of the edition", ShortName = "Edition Id")]
        public int? EditionIdRef { get; set; }
        public LitEdition Edition { get; set; }
    }

Note 1:

LitBook-class has three object-fileds:

    public LitPublisher Publisher { get; set; }

and

    public LitManuscript Manuscript { get; set; }

and

    public LitEdition Edition { get; set; }

To complete master-detail declaration we have to modify LitEdition, LitManuscript and LitPublisher classes New declaration of LitEdition class must be as follows

    public class LitEdition
    {
        [Key]
        [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
        [Display(Description = "Row id", Name = "Id of the edition", Prompt = "Enter Id of the edition", ShortName = "Edition Id")]
        [Required]
        public int EditionId { get; set; }

        [Display(Description = "Name of the edition", Name = "Name of the edition", Prompt = "Enter the Name of the edition", ShortName = "Edition Name")]
        [StringLength(40, MinimumLength = 3)]
        public string EditionName { get; set; }

        public List<LitBook> Books { get; set; }
    }

with Books-property added to the declaration of LitEdition class

    public List<LitBook> Books { get; set; }
    public class LitManuscript
    {
        // [Key] 
        [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
        [Display(Description = "Row id", Name = "Id of the Manuscript", Prompt = "Id of the Manuscript", ShortName = "Manuscript Id")]
        [Required]
        public int ManuscriptId { get; set; }

        [Display(Description = "Manuscript Title (no more than 60 characters in length)", Name = "Manuscript Name", Prompt = "Enter Manuscript Title", ShortName = "Title")]
        [StringLength(60, MinimumLength = 3)]
        [Required]
        public string ManuscriptTitle { get; set; }

        [Display(Description = "Date Of Manuscript Completion (not Required)", Name = "Completion Date", Prompt = "Enter Completion Date", ShortName = "Completion Date")]
        [DataType(DataType.Date)]
        [Required]
        public DateTime CompletionDate { get; set; }

        [DataType(DataType.Date)]
        [Display(Description = "Date Of Manuscript Beginning (not Required)", Name = "Beginning Date", Prompt = "Enter Beginning Date", ShortName = "Completion Date")]
        public Nullable<DateTime> BeginningDate { get; set; }

        [Display(Description = "Row id", Name = "Id of the Author", Prompt = "Enter Id of the Author", ShortName = "Author Id")]
        [Required]
        public int AuthorIdRef { get; set; }
        public LitAuthor Author { get; set; }

        [Display(Description = "Row id", Name = "Id of the genre", Prompt = "Id of the genre", ShortName = "Genre Id")]
        [Required]
        public int GenreIdRef { get; set; }
        public LitGenre Genre { get; set; }

        [StringLength(14, MinimumLength = 5)]
        [Required]
        public string DialectIdRef { get; set; }
        public LitDialect Dialect { get; set; }

        public ICollection<LitBook> Books { get; set; }
    }

with Books-property added to the declaration of LitManuscript class

    public ICollection<LitBook> Books { get; set; }

New declaration of LitPublisher class must be as follows

    public class LitPublisher
    {
        //[Key]
        //[Column("PublisherId", Order = 0)] // zero-based order of the column the property is mapped to
        [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
        [Display(Description = "Row id", Name = "Id of the Publisher", Prompt = "Enter Id of the Publisher", ShortName = "Publisher Id")]
        [Required]
        public int PublisherId { get; set; }

        [Display(Description = "Publisher Name (no more than 20 characters in length)", Name = "Publisher Name", Prompt = "Enter Publisher Name", ShortName = "Publisher Name")]
        [StringLength(40, MinimumLength = 3)]
        [Required]
        public string PublisherName { get; set; }


        [Display(Description = "Publisher Country Iso 3 code", Name = "Publisher Country Iso 3 code", Prompt = "Enter Publisher Country Iso 3 code", ShortName = "Publisher Country Iso 3")]
        [StringLength(3, MinimumLength = 3)]
        [Required]
        public string Iso3CntrRef { get; set; }


        [Display(Description = "Publisher Country Iso 2 code", Name = "Iso 2 code", Prompt = "Enter Publisher Country Iso 2 code", ShortName = "Publisher Country Iso 2")]
        [StringLength(3, MinimumLength = 2)]
        [Required]
        public string Iso2CntrRef { get; set; }

        public LitCountry Country { get; set; }

        public List<LitBook> Books { get; set; }
    }

with Books-property added to the declaration of LitPublisher class

    public List<LitBook> Books { get; set; }

Note 2:

  • we are going to define entity with one-to-many relations

It's highly recommended not to use [ForeignKey] and [InverseProperty] attributes. Use Fluent Api instead. CS2REACT wizards trust FluentApi more than [ForeignKey] and [InverseProperty] attributes.
