        {

        [Column(CanBeNull = false)]
        public string LocalityName { get; set; }

        [Association(Name = "FK_CityLocation_City", Storage = "_City", ThisKey = "CityId", OtherKey = "CityId", IsForeignKey = true)]

        }

        public void Add(City city)
        {

Answer 1

There were couple of issues with this.

1) notice.

private EntitySet<CityLocality> _cityLocalities;

This should have been.

private EntitySet<CityLocality> _cityLocalities = new EntitySet<CityLocality>();

2) [Association(Storage = "_CityLocality",
this should have been.

   [Association(Storage = "_cityLocalities",

3) Checked the DB Schema and found that had the columns as nullable just in case i changed them from nullable to not nullable.

and things worked fine.

Kind Regards
