Question

I have the following view

vw_Resources
-> ResourceId
-> Name
-> ReportsTo (maps to ResourceId)

and the class

public class Resource
{
     public int ResourceId{get;set;}
     public string Name{get;set;}
     public Resource ReportsTo{get;set;}
}

and the DbContext

public class MyContext
{
     public DbSet<Resource> Resources { get; set; }
}

How do I map the ReportsTo so that the DbContext returns a Resource object. I have to do this in the following method in the DbContext class using the ModelBinder

protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)

Answer 1

The following mapping worked

modelBuilder.Entity<Resource>().HasRequired(r => r.ReportsTo).WithMany().Map(r => r.MapKey("ReportsTo"));
