In the L2S designer I have dropped a table and a view. I tried adding an association between the 2 on their primary keys. This should be a one-to-one relationship, so I set the cardinality property of the association as such.
But, when coding I can’t access the child property.
Any suggestions?
I just created a view in sql server that has the fields I want, and dropped that into L2S. Much simpler.
In my experience Linq To SQL requires the Primary/Foreign key relationships established in the DB. Otherwise, you’ll have to do a join.
Not sure if this applies to your situation, but it may…
Linq To SQL Without Explicit Foreign Key Relationships
UPDATE:
It appears that you can get what you’re looking for without establishing the Primary/Foreign key relationships in the database. In the LinqToSQL designer set primary keys on both columns on each table. I also had to turn off Auto-Sync on Parent Table’s column that I assigned as a primary key.
Auto-Sync is described here.. Instructs the common language runtime (CLR) to retrieve the value after an insert or update operation.
