Entity framework 6 code first - one way many to many via annotations

Question

Is it possible to create one-way many-to-many association in entity framework 6 with code first and annotations? Example:

class Currency
{
    public int id          


        

Answer 1

You can do this in code first quite easily in EF 6.

    public class Country
{
   public int ID {get;set;}

   public virtual ICollection Currencys {get;set;}//don't worry about the name,     pluralisation etc


}

public class Currency
{

   public int ID {get;set;}

   public virtual ICollection Countrys {get;set;}//same as above - 

}

Compile it, run it and hey presto - magic join table in the background. Depends if the naming conventions bother you. I personally think if you are doing code first, you should do it all in the code. Some people prefer annotation, some prefer fluent API - use whichever you prefer.
