I've been trying to create navigation properties for my collection types and I found this example of how one person accomplished it using OnModelCreating. I gave it a try in my MVC 5 application and I recieved this error when trying to update my database:
One or more validation errors were detected during model generation:
BlogEngine.Models.IdentityUserLogin: : EntityType 'IdentityUserLogin' has no key defined. Define the key for this EntityType. BlogEngine.Models.IdentityUserRole: : EntityType 'IdentityUserRole' has no key defined. Define the key for this EntityType. IdentityUserLogins: EntityType: EntitySet 'IdentityUserLogins' is based on type 'IdentityUserLogin' that has no keys defined. IdentityUserRoles: EntityType: EntitySet 'IdentityUserRoles' is based on type 'IdentityUserRole' that has no keys defined.
How do I resolve these 'No key Defined' errors?
I did some searching and I found this solution for one users problem, but his needs were different than mine. The solutions seemed pretty convoluted for what I am trying to do.
This is the code that causes the issue:
public class ApplicationDbContext : IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser>
{
public ApplicationDbContext()
: base("DefaultConnection", throwIfV1Schema: false)
{
}
//public DbSet<Image> Images { get; set; }
public static ApplicationDbContext Create()
{
return new ApplicationDbContext();
}
public DbSet<Post> Posts { get; set; }
public DbSet<Image> Images { get; set; }
public DbSet<Album> Albums { get; set; }
public DbSet<Tag> Tags { get; set; }
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
modelBuilder.Entity<Post>().
HasOptional(e => e.Tags).
WithMany().
HasForeignKey(m => m.Tags_Id);
modelBuilder.Entity<Tag>().
HasOptional(e => e.Posts).
WithMany().
HasForeignKey(m => m.Posts_Id);
}
}
Here are my to models with the many to many relationship:
Post.cs model on Gist
Tag.cs model on Gist
Update to show IdentityUser:
public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
{
public async Task<ClaimsIdentity> GenerateUserIdentityAsync(UserManager<ApplicationUser> manager)
{
// Note the authenticationType must match the one defined in CookieAuthenticationOptions.AuthenticationType
var userIdentity = await manager.CreateIdentityAsync(this, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
// Add custom user claims here
return userIdentity;
}
}
