Mapping many to many relationship

Question

I am have some trouble getting Entity Framework to handle a many to many relationship in my data schema. Here is my model:

public class User
{
    public int Us         


        

Answer 1

Instead of trying to map this as many to many, map it as two one to many relationships. See the discussion of many to many join tables with payload in Many-to-Many Relationships in this tutorial:
