Question

I have a table like this:

• Name
• Tree
• Iron
• Clay
• Added

I want to map it to a model like this:

• Name
• Resources
  • Tree
  • Iron
  • Clay
• Added

In makes sense to map it like this, when working with it in my program, but doing it that way in the databse would just make it more complex … not would not add any useful things.

Is it possible with EF4 Code ONly?

Answer 1

public class Sample
{
   public int Id { get; set;}  // primary key required
   public string Name {get;set;}
   public DateTime Added{get;set;}

}

 public class Resource
 {
      //  no Id defined here
      public string Tree{get;set;}
      public string Iron { get;set;}
      public string Clay { get;set;}
  }

 public class SampleDB : DbContext
 {
      //public DbSet<Resource> Resources { get; set; } // should not be there
        public DbSet<Sample> Samples { get; set; }
 }
