Question

I have 2 classes like below.

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

    public string Objective
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

    public DateTime StartDate
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

    public string Story
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

    public virtual QuestLocation Location
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
}
    public class QuestLocation
{
    public DateTime CreateDate
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

    public int ID
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

    public double Latitude
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

    public double Longitude
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

    public virtual Quest Quest
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

}

I created a new instance of Quest and after that I have set the location property of Quest simply creating a new instance of QuestLocation class.

   Question q = new Question();
   q.StartDate = DateTime.Now;
   q.Objective = "foo";
   q.Location = new QuestLocation(){ CreateDate = DateTime.Now, Latitude = 10 , Longitude = 10 };

   And add newly created Quest into Database :
   DataContext.Quests.Add(q);
   DataContext.SaveChanges();

When I look at my database, Every object that i have initialized so far is created. However the foreign Key “Quest_ID” of QuestLocation remained NULL. How can I come up with this problem?

Answer 1

Question q = new Question();
QuestionLocation qL = new QuestLocation(){ CreateDate = DateTime.Now, Latitude = 10 , Longitude = 10 };
q.StartDate = DateTime.Now;
q.Objective = "foo";
q.Location = qL;

//And add newly created Quest into Database :
DataContext.QuestLocations.Add(qL);
DataContext.SaveChanges();

DataContext.Quests.Add(q);
DataContext.SaveChanges();
