EF Code First CTP5 - Using the name of the property as column name for foreign key

Question

Given the following model:

public class Foo
{
    public int Id { get; set;}
    public Bar TheBar { get; set; }
}

public class Bar
{
    public int Id { ge         


        

Answer 1

The error was caused by a bug in CTP5. If the Id property was defined in a base class (which is not shown in the code above because I didn't think it was related), it breaks.

I solved it by defining a base interface, but keeping the Id in each class.

Answer 2

You want the MapKey method in the fluent interface.

Alternately, if you do this throughout your model, CTP 5 has pluggable conventions, although this is, AFAIK, not well-documented yet.
