Entity framework Code First One-to-One relationship

Entity framework Code First One-to-One relationship

In Entity Framework Code First, a one-to-one relationship can be established between two entities using data annotations or fluent API. Here is an example of how to create a one-to-one relationship between two entities using data annotations:

public class Student { public int StudentId { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public virtual StudentAddress Address { get; set; } } public class StudentAddress { public int StudentAddressId { get; set; } public string Street { get; set; } public string City { get; set; } public string State { get; set; } [ForeignKey("Student")] public int StudentId { get; set; } public virtual Student Student { get; set; } }

In this example, the Student class has a navigation property Address of type StudentAddress, which represents the one-to-one relationship between a student and their address.

The StudentAddress class has a foreign key property StudentId that links it to the Student entity. The [ForeignKey] attribute specifies that the StudentId property is a foreign key to the Student entity.

With this configuration, Entity Framework Code First will create a one-to-one relationship between the Student and StudentAddress entities in the database.

Here is an example of how to create the same one-to-one relationship using fluent API:

public class StudentContext : DbContext { public DbSet<Student> Students { get; set; } public DbSet<StudentAddress> StudentAddresses { get; set; } protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder) { modelBuilder.Entity<Student>() .HasOptional(s => s.Address) // Student has one Address (optional) .WithRequired(ad => ad.Student); // Address required, Student has one Address } }

In this example, the OnModelCreating method is overridden to configure the relationship between the Student and StudentAddress entities using fluent API. The HasOptional method is used to specify that a Student entity can have an optional Address entity. The WithRequired method is used to specify that an Address entity is required and that the Student entity must have a navigation property that points to it.

This configuration will create the same one-to-one relationship between the Student and StudentAddress entities in the database.
