如何：使用 EntityReference 更改对象之间的关系（实体框架）

本主题介绍如何使用 EntityReference 对象在对象上下文中更改两个对象间的关系。 调用 SaveChanges 方法时，关系更改将作为相关表中外键的更改永久保留到数据库。 有关更多信息，请参见如何：在关联更改过程中执行业务逻辑。

本主题中的示例基于 Adventure Works 销售模型。若要运行本主题中的代码，则必须已经将 Adventure Works 销售模型添加到了您的项目中，并且已经将项目配置为使用实体框架。有关更多信息，请参见如何：使用实体数据模型向导（实体框架）或如何：手动配置实体框架项目和如何：手动定义实体数据模型（实体框架）。

示例

此示例演示如何使用 EntityReference 对象更改 SalesOrderHeader 对象和表示订单发货地址的相关 Address 对象之间的关系。

' Define the order and new address IDs. 
Dim orderId As Integer = 43669
Dim addressId As Integer = 26

Using context As New AdventureWorksEntities()
    ' Get the billing address to change to. 
    Dim address As Address = context.Addresses.Single(Function(c) c.AddressID = addressId)

    ' Get the order being changed. 
    Dim order As SalesOrderHeader = context.SalesOrderHeaders.Single(Function(o) o.SalesOrderID = orderId)

    ' You do not have to call the Load method to load the addresses for the order, 
    ' because lazy loading is set to true 
    ' by the constructor of the AdventureWorksEntities object. 
    ' With lazy loading set to true the related objects are loaded when 
    ' you access the navigation property. In this case Address. 

    ' Write the current billing street address. 
    Console.WriteLine("Current street: " & order.Address.AddressLine1)

    ' Change the billing address. 
    If Not order.Address.Equals(address) Then
        ' Use Address navigation property to change the association. 
        order.Address = address

        ' Write the changed billing street address. 
        Console.WriteLine("Changed street: " & order.Address.AddressLine1)
    End If

    ' If the address change succeeds, save the changes. 
    context.SaveChanges()

    ' Write the current billing street address. 
    Console.WriteLine("Current street: " & order.Address.AddressLine1)
End Using

// Define the order and new address IDs.
int orderId = 43669;
int addressId = 26;

using (AdventureWorksEntities context
    = new AdventureWorksEntities())
{
    // Get the billing address to change to.
    Address address =
        context.Addresses.Single(c => c.AddressID == addressId);

    // Get the order being changed.
    SalesOrderHeader order =
        context.SalesOrderHeaders.Single(o => o.SalesOrderID == orderId);

    // You do not have to call the Load method to load the addresses for the order,
    // because  lazy loading is set to true 
    // by the constructor of the AdventureWorksEntities object. 
    // With  lazy loading set to true the related objects are loaded when
    // you access the navigation property. In this case Address.

    // Write the current billing street address.
    Console.WriteLine("Current street: "
        + order.Address.AddressLine1);

    // Change the billing address.
    if (!order.Address.Equals(address))
    {
        // Use Address navigation property to change the association.
        order.Address = address;

        // Write the changed billing street address.
        Console.WriteLine("Changed street: "
            + order.Address.AddressLine1);
    }

    // If the address change succeeds, save the changes.
    context.SaveChanges();

    // Write the current billing street address.
    Console.WriteLine("Current street: "
        + order.Address.AddressLine1);
}
