I am following EF Feature CTP5: Pluggable Conventions to create custom pluggable convention (in this particular case to change the precision of all decimal fields). Looks like in the latest release of EF the Add method on ConventionsConfiguraions is also "internal'. How do i add custom Pluggable Conventions now? The feature has been removed in EF 4.1 and a possible implementation postponed to a later release: Code First customizable (pluggable) conventions are not supported. Removing the default Code First conventions is supported. Quote from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library

I have a hierarchical relationship defined for one of my tables where the relationship is stored in a separate join table. The join table also contains information about the type of relationship. The (simplified) schema looks like: Bills ID int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL (PK) Code varchar(5) NOT NULL Number varchar(5) NOT NULL ... BillRelations ID int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL (PK) BillID int NOT NULL RelatedBillID int NOT NULL Relationship int NOT NULL ... I have FK relationships defined on BillID and RelatedBillID to ID in the Bills table. I'm trying to map this in Entity Framework Code First with

I have a project with the CodeFirst database (Entity Framework 6) and two migration steps. Database is updated automatically by using this code in Application_Start in Global.asax: Database.SetInitializer( new MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion<MyDBEntities, MyNamespace.Configuration>()); First migration step is creating the tables: CreateTable( "dbo.GalleryAlbum", c => new { Id = c.Int(nullable: false), //other columns..... }) .PrimaryKey(t => t.Id); CreateTable( "dbo.GalleryPics", c => new { Id = c.Int(nullable: false), //other columns..... }) .PrimaryKey(t => t.Id) .ForeignKey("dbo.GalleryAlbum

My app has Posts and Flags . Both of these have Responses , which have Comments . Post Response Comment Flag Response Comment I'm trying to model this in EF as simply and properly as possible, but I'm not sure if I'm going overboard here with inheritance. This is what I have: public class Post { [Key] [Required] public int PostId { get; set; } public virtual ICollection<PostResponse> Responses { get; private set; } } public class Flag { [Key] [Required] public int FlagId { get; set; } public virtual ICollection<FlagResponse> Responses { get; private set; } } I wanted to use just generic

Assume i have two entities, User and Notification : public class User { [Key] public int UserId { get; set; } // other public properties // Navigation Properties public virtual ICollection<Notification> Notifications { get; set; } } public class Notification { [Key] public int NotificationId { get; set; } // other public properties // Navigation Properties public virtual ICollection<User> Users { get; set; } } I'm simply adding many-to-many Relationship like this: modelBuilder.Entity<User>() .HasMany(u => u.Notifications) .WithMany(t => t.Users) .Map(m => { m.ToTable("UserNotifications"); m

I have two classes defined as such: public class Questionnaire { public int QuestionnaireID { get; set; } public string Title { get; set; } public bool Active { get; set; } public virtual ICollection<Question> Questions { get; set; } public virtual ICollection<Vendor> Vendors { get; set; } } public class Vendor { public int VendorID { get; set; } public string VendorName { get; set; } public virtual ICollection<Questionnaire> OpenQuestionnaires { get; set; } public virtual ICollection<Questionnaire> SubmittedQuestionnaires { get; set; } public virtual ICollection<QuestionnaireUser>

Using the Entity Framework 5.0, I am attempting to manually migrate my code-first database during my MVC site's start up routine. To do this, I first create a DbContext instance and then run the following code: var migrator = new MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion<DataContext, Configuration>(); migrator.InitializeDatabase(this.dataContext); I assumed the database associated with the dataContext's connection would be the one migrated. It appears though that this is not the case. Instead, it always tries to migrate a database on a local SQLExpress instance. There is an overload to the
