Hello
I don't understand the following line of code:
myEntities.AddToReviews(myReview)
Could somebody explain?
Thanks
Alex

Hi there,

This code adds an instance of a Review (the myReview variable) to the Reviews collection of the Entity Framework context object (myEntities) using the AddToReviews method.

After this line of code, the instance is available for querying (for example, using myEntities.Reviews) and if you call SaveChanges, it's persisted to the database as well.

Hope this clarifies things.

Cheers,

Imar

Thanks Imari
How is the AddToReviews method created? Automatically by the framework? If I have a table called "example", is there automatically a method AddToExamples created?
Thanks
Alex

Hi Alex,

The best answer to that question is: why don't you try it out. Simply drag your examples table on the design surface of the EF designer as explained in the book. Then save your changes, create a new instance of the EF context and see if the method is there.

The second best answer is: yes, the method is created automatically, depending on the actual object and set name. If you make sure the class ends up as Example, and the set name as Examples, you should end up with an AddToExamples method.

Cheers,

Imar
