I had always thought that Fore

Answer 1

The required side of the 1..0 relationship MemberDataSet should not have a FK to DeferredData. Instead, DeferredData's PK should also be a FK to MemberDataSet (known as shared primary key)

public class MemberDataSet
{
    [Key]
    [DatabaseGeneratedAttribute(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
    public int Id { get; set; }

    public virtual DeferredData DeferredData { get; set; }
}

public class DeferredData
{
    // DeferredData.Id is both the PK and a FK to MemberDataSet
    [Key]
    [DatabaseGenerated( DatabaseGeneratedOption.None )]
    [ForeignKey( "MemberDataSet" )]
    public int Id { get; set; }

    [Required]
    public virtual MemberDataSet MemberDataSet { get; set; }
}

Fluent API:

modelBuilder.Entity()
    .HasOptional( mds => mds.DeferredData )
    .WithRequired()
    .WillCascadeOnDelete();
