Fluent API s VB.NET

Code First umožňuje definovat model pomocí C# nebo VB.NET tříd. Další konfiguraci můžete volitelně provést pomocí atributů ve třídách a vlastnostech nebo pomocí rozhraní API fluent. Tento návod ukazuje, jak provádět konfiguraci rozhraní API fluent pomocí VB.NET.

Na této stránce se předpokládá, že máte základní znalosti o kódu First. Další informace o code First najdete v následujících názorných postupech:

• Code First do nové databáze
• Code First do existující databáze

Předpoklady

K dokončení tohoto návodu budete muset mít nainstalovanou alespoň sadu Visual Studio 2010 nebo Visual Studio 2012.

Pokud používáte Visual Studio 2010, budete také muset mít nainstalovaný NuGet .

Vytvoření aplikace

Abychom měli všechno jednoduché, vytvoříme základní konzolovou aplikaci, která k provádění přístupu k datům používá Code First.

• Otevřete sadu Visual Studio.
• Soubor -> Nový -> Projekt...
• V nabídce vlevo vyberte Windows a konzolovou aplikaci.
• Jako název zadejte CodeFirstVBSample .
• Vyberte OK.

Definování modelu

V tomto kroku definujete VB.NET typy entit POCO, které představují koncepční model. Třídy nemusí odvozovat z žádné základní třídy ani implementovat žádná rozhraní.

• Přidejte do projektu novou třídu, jako název třídy zadejte SchoolModel .
• Nahraďte obsah nové třídy následujícím kódem.

Public Class Department
    Public Sub New()
        Me.Courses = New List(Of Course)()
    End Sub

    ' Primary key
    Public Property DepartmentID() As Integer
    Public Property Name() As String
    Public Property Budget() As Decimal
    Public Property StartDate() As Date
    Public Property Administrator() As Integer?
    Public Overridable Property Courses() As ICollection(Of Course)
End Class

Public Class Course
    Public Sub New()
        Me.Instructors = New HashSet(Of Instructor)()
    End Sub

    ' Primary key
    Public Property CourseID() As Integer
    Public Property Title() As String
    Public Property Credits() As Integer

    ' Foreign  key that does not follow the Code First convention.
    ' The fluent API will be used to configure DepartmentID_FK  to be the foreign key for this entity.
    Public Property DepartmentID_FK() As Integer

    ' Navigation properties
    Public Overridable Property Department() As Department
    Public Overridable Property Instructors() As ICollection(Of Instructor)
End Class

Public Class OnlineCourse
    Inherits Course

    Public Property URL() As String
End Class

Partial Public Class OnsiteCourse
    Inherits Course

    Public Sub New()
        Details = New OnsiteCourseDetails()
    End Sub

    Public Property Details() As OnsiteCourseDetails
 End Class

' Complex type
Public Class OnsiteCourseDetails
    Public Property Time() As Date
    Public Property Location() As String
    Public Property Days() As String
End Class

Public Class Person
    ' Primary key
    Public Property PersonID() As Integer
    Public Property LastName() As String
    Public Property FirstName() As String
End Class

Public Class Instructor
    Inherits Person

    Public Sub New()
        Me.Courses = New List(Of Course)()
    End Sub

    Public Property HireDate() As Date

    ' Navigation properties
    Private privateCourses As ICollection(Of Course)
    Public Overridable Property Courses() As ICollection(Of Course)
    Public Overridable Property OfficeAssignment() As OfficeAssignment
End Class

Public Class OfficeAssignment
    ' Primary key that does not follow the Code First convention.
    ' The HasKey method is used later to configure the primary key for the entity.
    Public Property InstructorID() As Integer

    Public Property Location() As String
    Public Property Timestamp() As Byte()

    ' Navigation property
    Public Overridable Property Instructor() As Instructor
End Class

Definování odvozeného kontextu

Chystáme se začít používat typy z entity Framework, takže potřebujeme přidat balíček NuGet EntityFramework.

• **Projekt –> Správa balíčků NuGet...

Poznámka

Pokud nemáte možnost Spravovat balíčky NuGet... měli byste nainstalovat nejnovější verzi NuGetu.

• Výběr karty Online
• Výběr balíčku EntityFramework
• Klikněte na Nainstalovat.

Teď je čas definovat odvozený kontext, který představuje relaci s databází, což nám umožňuje dotazovat a ukládat data. Definujeme kontext, který je odvozen od System.Data.Entity.DbContext a zveřejňuje typed DbSet<TEntity> pro každou třídu v našem modelu.

• Přidejte do projektu novou třídu, jako název třídy zadejte SchoolContext .
• Nahraďte obsah nové třídy následujícím kódem.

Imports System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations
Imports System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema
Imports System.Data.Entity
Imports System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure
Imports System.Data.Entity.ModelConfiguration.Conventions

Public Class SchoolContext
    Inherits DbContext

    Public Property OfficeAssignments() As DbSet(Of OfficeAssignment)
    Public Property Instructors() As DbSet(Of Instructor)
    Public Property Courses() As DbSet(Of Course)
    Public Property Departments() As DbSet(Of Department)

    Protected Overrides Sub OnModelCreating(ByVal modelBuilder As DbModelBuilder)
    End Sub
End Class

Konfigurace s využitím rozhraní Fluent API

Tato část ukazuje, jak pomocí rozhraní API fluent nakonfigurovat typy na mapování tabulek, vlastnosti na mapování sloupců a relace mezi tabulkami\typem ve vašem modelu. Rozhraní FLUENT API je vystaveno prostřednictvím typu DbModelBuilder a nejčastěji se k němu přistupuje přepsáním metody OnModelCreating v DbContext.

• Zkopírujte následující kód a přidejte ho do metody OnModelCreating definované ve třídě SchoolContext Komentáře vysvětlují, co každé mapování dělá.

' Configure Code First to ignore PluralizingTableName convention
' If you keep this convention then the generated tables
' will have pluralized names.
modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove(Of PluralizingTableNameConvention)()


' Specifying that a Class is a Complex Type

' The model defined in this topic defines a type OnsiteCourseDetails.
' By convention, a type that has no primary key specified
' is treated as a complex type.
' There are some scenarios where Code First will not
' detect a complex type (for example, if you do have a property
' called ID, but you do not mean for it to be a primary key).
' In such cases, you would use the fluent API to
' explicitly specify that a type is a complex type.
modelBuilder.ComplexType(Of OnsiteCourseDetails)()


' Mapping a CLR Entity Type to a Specific Table in the Database.

' All properties of OfficeAssignment will be mapped
' to columns  in a table called t_OfficeAssignment.
modelBuilder.Entity(Of OfficeAssignment)().ToTable("t_OfficeAssignment")


' Mapping the Table-Per-Hierarchy (TPH) Inheritance

' In the TPH mapping scenario, all types in an inheritance hierarchy
' are mapped to a single table.
' A discriminator column is used to identify the type of each row.
' When creating your model with Code First,      
' TPH is the default strategy for the types that
' participate in the inheritance hierarchy.
' By default, the discriminator column is added
' to the table with the name “Discriminator”
' and the CLR type name of each type in the hierarchy
' is used for the discriminator values.
' You can modify the default behavior by using the fluent API.
modelBuilder.Entity(Of Person)().
    Map(Of Person)(Function(t) t.Requires("Type").
        HasValue("Person")).
        Map(Of Instructor)(Function(t) t.Requires("Type").
        HasValue("Instructor"))


' Mapping the Table-Per-Type (TPT) Inheritance

' In the TPT mapping scenario, all types are mapped to individual tables.
' Properties that belong solely to a base type or derived type are stored
' in a table that maps to that type. Tables that map to derived types
' also store a foreign key that joins the derived table with the base table.
modelBuilder.Entity(Of Course)().ToTable("Course")
modelBuilder.Entity(Of OnsiteCourse)().ToTable("OnsiteCourse")
modelBuilder.Entity(Of OnlineCourse)().ToTable("OnlineCourse")


' Configuring a Primary Key

' If your class defines a property whose name is “ID” or “Id”,
' or a class name followed by “ID” or “Id”,
' the Entity Framework treats this property as a primary key by convention.
' If your property name does not follow this pattern, use the HasKey method
' to configure the primary key for the entity.
modelBuilder.Entity(Of OfficeAssignment)().
    HasKey(Function(t) t.InstructorID)


' Specifying the Maximum Length on a Property

' In the following example, the Name property
' should be no longer than 50 characters.
' If you make the value longer than 50 characters,
' you will get a DbEntityValidationException exception.
modelBuilder.Entity(Of Department)().Property(Function(t) t.Name).
    HasMaxLength(60)


' Configuring the Property to be Required

' In the following example, the Name property is required.
' If you do not specify the Name,
' you will get a DbEntityValidationException exception.
' The database column used to store this property will be non-nullable.
modelBuilder.Entity(Of Department)().Property(Function(t) t.Name).
    IsRequired()


' Switching off Identity for Numeric Primary Keys

' The following example sets the DepartmentID property to
' System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.DatabaseGeneratedOption.None to indicate that
' the value will not be generated by the database.
modelBuilder.Entity(Of Course)().Property(Function(t) t.CourseID).
    HasDatabaseGeneratedOption(DatabaseGeneratedOption.None)

'Specifying NOT to Map a CLR Property to a Column in the Database
 modelBuilder.Entity(Of Department)().
     Ignore(Function(t) t.Administrator)

'Mapping a CLR Property to a Specific Column in the Database
 modelBuilder.Entity(Of Department)().Property(Function(t) t.Budget).
     HasColumnName("DepartmentBudget")

'Configuring the Data Type of a Database Column
 modelBuilder.Entity(Of Department)().Property(Function(t) t.Name).
     HasColumnType("varchar")

'Configuring Properties on a Complex Type
modelBuilder.Entity(Of OnsiteCourse)().Property(Function(t) t.Details.Days).
    HasColumnName("Days")
modelBuilder.Entity(Of OnsiteCourse)().Property(Function(t) t.Details.Location).
    HasColumnName("Location")
modelBuilder.Entity(Of OnsiteCourse)().Property(Function(t) t.Details.Time).
    HasColumnName("Time")


' Map one-to-zero or one relationship

' The OfficeAssignment has the InstructorID
' property that is a primary key and a foreign key.
modelBuilder.Entity(Of OfficeAssignment)().
    HasRequired(Function(t) t.Instructor).
    WithOptional(Function(t) t.OfficeAssignment)


' Configuring a Many-to-Many Relationship

' The following code configures a many-to-many relationship
' between the Course  and Instructor types.
' In the following example, the default Code First conventions
' are used  to create a join table.
' As a result the CourseInstructor table is created with
' Course_CourseID  and Instructor_InstructorID columns.
modelBuilder.Entity(Of Course)().
    HasMany(Function(t) t.Instructors).
    WithMany(Function(t) t.Courses)


' Configuring a Many-to-Many Relationship and specifying the names
' of the columns in the join table

' If you want to specify the join table name
' and the names of the columns in the table
' you need to do additional configuration by using the Map method.
' The following code generates the CourseInstructor
' table with CourseID and InstructorID columns.
modelBuilder.Entity(Of Course)().
    HasMany(Function(t) t.Instructors).
    WithMany(Function(t) t.Courses).
    Map(Sub(m)
            m.ToTable("CourseInstructor")
            m.MapLeftKey("CourseID")
            m.MapRightKey("InstructorID")
        End Sub)


' Configuring a foreign key name that does not follow the Code First convention

' The foreign key property on the Course class is called DepartmentID_FK
' since that does not follow Code First conventions you need to explicitly specify
' that you want DepartmentID_FK to be the foreign key.
modelBuilder.Entity(Of Course)().
    HasRequired(Function(t) t.Department).
    WithMany(Function(t) t.Courses).
    HasForeignKey(Function(t) t.DepartmentID_FK)


' Enabling Cascade Delete

' By default, if a foreign key on the dependent entity is not nullable,
' then Code First sets cascade delete on the relationship.
' If a foreign key on the dependent entity is nullable,
' Code First does not set cascade delete on the relationship,
' and when the principal is deleted the foreign key will be set to null.
' The following code configures cascade delete on the relationship.

' You can also remove the cascade delete conventions by using:
' modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<OneToManyCascadeDeleteConvention>()
' and modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<ManyToManyCascadeDeleteConvention>().
modelBuilder.Entity(Of Course)().
    HasRequired(Function(t) t.Department).
    WithMany(Function(t) t.Courses).
    HasForeignKey(Function(d) d.DepartmentID_FK).
    WillCascadeOnDelete(False)

Použití modelu

Pojďme pomocí SchoolContextu provést přístup k datům , abychom viděli model v akci.

• Otevřete soubor Module1.vb, kde je definována funkce Main.
• Zkopírujte a vložte následující definici modulu 1.

Imports System.Data.Entity

Module Module1

    Sub Main()

        Using context As New SchoolContext()

            ' Create and save a new Department.
            Console.Write("Enter a name for a new Department: ")
            Dim name = Console.ReadLine()

            Dim department = New Department With { .Name = name, .StartDate = DateTime.Now }
            context.Departments.Add(department)
            context.SaveChanges()

            ' Display all Departments from the database ordered by name
            Dim departments =
                From d In context.Departments
                Order By d.Name
                Select d

            Console.WriteLine("All Departments in the database:")
            For Each department In departments
                Console.WriteLine(department.Name)
            Next

        End Using

        Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit...")
        Console.ReadKey()

    End Sub

End Module

Teď můžete aplikaci spustit a otestovat ji.

Enter a name for a new Department: Computing
All Departments in the database:
Computing
