Question

I have two POCO classes:

Order Class:

public class Order
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public int? QuotationId { get; set; }
    public virtual Quotation Quotation { get; set; }
    ....
}

Quotation Class:

public class Quotation
{
    public int Id { get; set; } 
    public virtual Order Order { get; set; }
    ....   
}

• Each Order may be made from one or zero quotation, and
• each quotation may cause an order.

So I have an "one or zero" to "one or zero" relation, how can I implement this, in EF Code first by Fluent API?

Answer 1

By changing pocos to:

public class Order
{
    public int OrderId { get; set; }
    public virtual Quotation Quotation { get; set; }
}
public class Quotation
{
    public int QuotationId { get; set; }
    public virtual Order Order { get; set; }
}

and using these mapping files:

public class OrderMap : EntityTypeConfiguration<Order>
{
    public OrderMap()
    {
        this.HasOptional(x => x.Quotation)
            .WithOptionalPrincipal()
            .Map(x => x.MapKey("OrderId"));
    }
}
 
public class QuotationMap : EntityTypeConfiguration<Quotation>
{
    public QuotationMap()
    {
        this.HasOptional(x => x.Order)
            .WithOptionalPrincipal()
            .Map(x => x.MapKey("QuotationId"));
    }
}

we will have this DB(that means 0..1-0..1):
