I did a lot of research but haven't found any answer that matches my problem. I even tried to use the The relationship could not be changed because one or more of the foreign-key properties is non-nullable example. No success.
I'm working with Entity Framework 6 Code First (Fluent API), POCO Classes.
I have a class called Parent and a class called Child
One Parent can have one or more Childs (one to many relationship)
So, in my ParentMapping class I did:
HasMany(p => p.Childs).WithRequired(p => p.Parent).Map(m => m.MapKey("ParentId"));
and in my ChildMapping class I did:
HasRequired(p => p.Parent).WithMany(p => p.Childs).Map(m => m.MapKey("ParentId"));
I persist (Insert, Update and Delete) my child poco class at the same time I persist the parent class. So every time I save my parent class, it has one or more child objects in its Childs property. Thus the parent object is responsible for persist its child objects.
I followed the example above (see the link) to save data into the database.
I get below message when I try to add a new child to the db existent Parent, which already has one child in the database, and call the db.SaveChanges:
Multiplicity constraint violated. The role Child_Parent_Target of the relationship Child_Parent has multiplicity 1 or 0..1.
Can anyone help me? I'm struggling with this and see no light in the end of the tunnel.
