consider the following class:
class Order {
int OrderId {get; set;}
int CustomerId {get; set;}
string CustomerName {get; set;}
//other fields go here
}
which is mapped to Orders table. Is it possible to map the property CustomerName to the Customers table through the foreign key relation?
Yes, you can use the join mapping element for this. Another option is to map a view instead of a table. But if possible you should take the object-oriented approach and map the many-to-many relationship between Order and Customer.
