Unique Keys not recognized by Entity Framework

Question

I have two tables, Reports and Visualizations. Reports has a field, VisualizationID, which points to Visualization<

Answer 1

The EF is complaining because it sounds like you are using an FK Association - which means that the VisualizationID is a property of the Entity and there is a Visualization reference too - and you can't do this with FK Associations.

If however you use Independent Associations - which means there is no VisualizationID property - you can narrow the cardinality.

So the solution is to remove the VisualizationID property from the Entity, at which point you need to go ahead an map the association.

Hope this helps
