Question

I have three classes:

Class A 
{
string name
IList<AB> list
}

Class B
{
name
}

Class AB
{
A a
B b
}

Class B exists separate from A. It exists in its own right, and of is part of similar lists in other classes This is why I have the reference table.

Problem is, automapper generate schema gives me this schema:

A{id, name}

B{id, name}

AB{id, AFK}

WIth regards to the AB schema, I’m expecting BFK in there as well, and I’m not expecting the id field, as it’s not needed. It should be a composite PK between AFK and BFK.

I’m using automapper, with no overrides at the mo.

Please note, I do not want to include IList into my Class B, as it has no place there.

Please help – I have been looking all over for the solution to this, and I feel it should be a simple solution. Back when I modelled from ER direct to sql tables this was how I was told to do it if the entities were both strong.

Answer 1

unfortunately you have to override

HasMany(x => x.List)
    .Component(c =>
    {
        c.ParentReference(x => x.A);
        c.References(x => x.B);
    });
