entity-framework-5

Using: visual studio 2012 Ultimate, ADO Entity Framework 6, Database: Sql express 2014 (installed on local PC), Database tables count: 174 table. I am trying to create database model using Entity Data Model Wizard but it takes about 8 hours to create the model(Dialog not responding). I tried to reinstall visual studio & Entity Framework but the same problem. I need any ideas that can speed up database model creation. Updating to Cumulative update package 5 for SQL Server 2014 fixes this issue, see https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/829555/visual-studio-freezes-during

I've this model public class State { public State() { this.Promotions = new List<Promotion>(); this.Branches = new List<Branch>(); this.Stores = new List<Store>(); } public int Id { get; set; } public string Description { get; set; } public virtual ICollection<Promotion> Promotions { get; set; } public virtual ICollection<Store> Stores { get; set; } public virtual ICollection<Branch> Branches { get; set; } } public class Store { public Store() { this.Promotions = new List<Promotion>(); this.Branches = new List<Branch>(); } public int Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public

I would like to find a way using Linq to filter a navigation property to a subset of related entities. I know all answers around this subject suggest doing an anonymous selector such as: query.Where(x => x.Users.Any(y => y.ID == actingUser.ID)) .Select(x => new { Event = x, Discussions = x.Discussions.Where(actingUser.GenerateSecurityFilterFor<Domain.Discussion>()) }) .OrderBy(x => x.Discussions.Count()) .ThenBy(x => x.Event.Name); However, this is significantly less than ideal due to the general nature of our query generation and also yields significantly horrific sql queries if you throw up

I cannot seem to find a one-to-many relationship syntax in the fluent API. As an example I have two tables as below User Id Name UserHistory Id UserId Date In the classes I have the following public class User { public int Id { get; set; } public virtual ICollection<UserHistory> Histories { get; set; } } public class UserHistory { public int Id { get; set; } public int UserId { get; set; } public DateTime Date { get; set; } } I have tried the following but I am not sure if its actually correct. modelBuilder.Entity<User>() .HasRequired(w => w.Histories) .WithMany(); modelBuilder.Entity<User>()

We're using Entity Framework 5.0 Code First and Automatic Migrations. I had a class like so: public class TraversalZones { public int Low { get; set; } public int High { get; set; } }​ Then we realized these properties weren't really the right names, so we changed them: public class TraversalZones { public int Left { get; set; } public int Top { get; set; } }​ The rename refactored properly throughout the project, but I know Automatic Migrations aren't smart enough to pick up these explicit renames in the IDE, so I first checked to verify the only pending migration was this column rename:

I'm using .NET 4.0, MVC3, and EF5 with code first. My solution is split up into three projects, with the dependencies as indicated: Project.Web -> Project.BLL -> Project.DAL The Project.DAL layer contains my entity framework data context class and all my entities, but my startup project is Project.Web, so it contains my Web.config, connection strings, and the actual SQL compact database. I'm trying to enable migrations so I can add a new table to my EF model without wiping the existing data. However, when I run "Enable-Migrations", I get No context type was found in the assembly 'Project.Web'.
