如何:定义实体关系(WCF 数据服务)

在 WCF 数据服务 中添加新实体时,不会自动定义新实体和相关实体之间的任何关系。 可创建和更改实体实例之间的关系,以及让客户端库在数据服务中反映这些更改。 有关更多信息,请参见更新数据服务(WCF 数据服务)

本主题中的示例使用 Northwind 示例数据服务和自动生成的客户端数据服务类。 此服务和这些客户端数据类是在完成 WCF 数据服务快速入门时创建的。

示例

下面的示例创建一个新的对象实例,然后对 DataServiceContext 调用 AddRelatedObject 方法以创建上下文中的项以及指向相关订单的链接。 调用 SaveChanges 方法时,HTTP POST 消息将会发送到数据服务。

Dim productId = 25
Dim customerId = "ALFKI"

Dim newItem As Order_Detail = Nothing

' Create the DataServiceContext using the service URI.
Dim context = New NorthwindEntities(svcUri)

Try
    ' Get the specific product.
    Dim selectedProduct = (From product In context.Products _
                           Where product.ProductID = productId _
                           Select product).Single()

    ' Get the specific customer.
    Dim cust = (From customer In context.Customers.Expand("Orders") _
                Where customer.CustomerID = customerId _
                Select customer).Single()

    ' Get the first order. 
    Dim order = cust.Orders.FirstOrDefault()

    ' Create a new order detail for the specific product.
    newItem = Order_Detail.CreateOrder_Detail( _
            order.OrderID, selectedProduct.ProductID, 10, 5, 0)

    ' Add the new item with a link to the related order.
    context.AddRelatedObject(order, "Order_Details", newItem)

    ' Add the new order detail to the collection, and
    ' set the reference to the product.
    order.Order_Details.Add(newItem)
    newItem.Order = order
    newItem.Product = selectedProduct

    ' Send the changes to the data service.
    Dim response As DataServiceResponse = context.SaveChanges()

    ' Enumerate the returned responses.
    For Each change As ChangeOperationResponse In response
        ' Get the descriptor for the entity.
        Dim descriptor = TryCast(change.Descriptor, EntityDescriptor)

        If Not descriptor Is Nothing Then
            If TypeOf descriptor.Entity Is Order_Detail Then
                Dim addedItem = TryCast(descriptor.Entity, Order_Detail)

                If Not addedItem Is Nothing Then
                    Console.WriteLine("New {0} item added to order {1}.", _
                        addedItem.Product.ProductName, addedItem.OrderID.ToString())
                End If
            End If
        End If
    Next
Catch ex As DataServiceQueryException
    Throw New ApplicationException( _
            "An error occurred when saving changes.", ex)

    ' Handle any errors that may occur during insert, such as 
    ' a constraint violation.
Catch ex As DataServiceRequestException
    Throw New ApplicationException( _
            "An error occurred when saving changes.", ex)
int productId = 25;
string customerId = "ALFKI";

Order_Detail newItem = null;

// Create the DataServiceContext using the service URI.
NorthwindEntities context = new NorthwindEntities(svcUri);

try
{
    // Get the specific product.
    var selectedProduct = (from product in context.Products
                           where product.ProductID == productId
                           select product).Single();

                select customer).Single();

    // Get the first order. 
    Order order = cust.Orders.FirstOrDefault();

    // Create a new order detail for the specific product.
    newItem = Order_Detail.CreateOrder_Detail(
        order.OrderID, selectedProduct.ProductID, 10, 5, 0);

    order.Order_Details.Add(newItem);
    newItem.Order = order;
    newItem.Product = selectedProduct;

    // Send the changes to the data service.
    DataServiceResponse response = context.SaveChanges();

    // Enumerate the returned responses.
    foreach (ChangeOperationResponse change in response)
    {
        // Get the descriptor for the entity.
        EntityDescriptor descriptor = change.Descriptor as EntityDescriptor;

        if (descriptor != null)
        {
            if (descriptor.Entity.GetType() == typeof(Order_Detail))
            {
                Order_Detail addedItem = descriptor.Entity as Order_Detail;

                if (addedItem != null)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("New {0} item added to order {1}.", 
                        addedItem.Product.ProductName, addedItem.OrderID.ToString());
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
catch (DataServiceQueryException ex)
{
    throw new ApplicationException(
        "An error occurred when saving changes.", ex);
}

// Handle any errors that may occur during insert, such as

下面的示例演示如何使用 AddObject 方法将 Order_Details 对象添加到引用特定 Products 对象的相关 Orders 对象。 AddLinkSetLink 方法定义相应关系。 在此示例中,还显式设置了 Order_Details 对象的导航属性。

Dim productId = 25
Dim customerId = "ALFKI"

Dim newItem As Order_Detail = Nothing

' Create the DataServiceContext using the service URI.
Dim context = New NorthwindEntities(svcUri)

                                           Select product).Single()

    ' Get the specific customer.
    Dim cust = (From customer In context.Customers.Expand("Orders") _
                Where customer.CustomerID = customerId _
                Select customer).Single()

    ' Get the first order. 
    Dim order = cust.Orders.FirstOrDefault()

    ' Create a new order detail for the specific product.
    newItem = Order_Detail.CreateOrder_Detail( _
    order.OrderID, selectedProduct.ProductID, 10, 5, 0)

    ' Add the new order detail to the context.
    context.AddToOrder_Details(newItem)

    ' Add links for the one-to-many relationships.
    context.AddLink(order, "Order_Details", newItem)
    context.AddLink(selectedProduct, "Order_Details", newItem)

        Dim descriptor = TryCast(change.Descriptor, EntityDescriptor)

        If Not descriptor Is Nothing Then

            Dim addedProduct = TryCast(descriptor.Entity, Product)
