how to set NAME for “multi fields” primary keys (C

Question

How to set name for "multi fields" primary keys (Constraint Primary Key) in entity framework?? for example :

// CONSTRAINT PKRoles PRIMARY KEY (Rolename, ApplicationName)

i can implement only part of the code :

sql cod:

CREATE TABLE Roles
(
    Rolename Text (255) NOT NULL,
    ApplicationName Text (255) NOT NULL,
    CONSTRAINT PKRoles PRIMARY KEY (Rolename, ApplicationName)
)

implement (convert for entity):

public class Roles
{
    [Key, Column(Order = 0)]
    public string Rolename { get; set; } //(255) NOT NULL

    [Key, Column(Order = 1)]
    public string ApplicationName { get; set; } //(255) NOT NULL

    //CONSTRAINT PKRoles PRIMARY KEY (Rolename, ApplicationName)
}

i see in keys section of database , that create key with "PK_dbo.Roles" name ! but i need create key "PKRoles " neme!

please help me to implement end line above code.

Does the code below do what you want?

public class Roles
{
    [Key, Column("PKRoles", Order = 0)]
    public string Rolename { get; set; } //(255) NOT NULL

    [Key, Column("PKRoles", Order = 1)]
    public string ApplicationName { get; set; } //(255) NOT NULL
}

The word you are looking for is "composite key" and you might be able to use the fluent API. That might help your search if this does not work.
