Ch 14: Try it Out p. 511 - error 'dependent property in a ReferentialConstraint'

Here's another error I can't trace. I checked the forum and couldn't find anything like it.

On this one, VS generates no errors. I'm able to get all the way through entering a new album, AND information on a new "picture." Then I get this nasty stuff:

Error: A dependent property in a ReferentialConstraint is mapped to a store-generated column. Column: 'Id'

Code:

[InvalidOperationException: A dependent property in a ReferentialConstraint is mapped to a store-generated column. Column: 'Id'.]

I went back and checked all the steps of this try-it-out, including regenerating the listview, making sure I had deleted the right portions of code, making sure the Where statement was correct, etc.

Where should I look?

Thanks,

Jay

Hard to tell wihtout seeing the code or model but my guess is that you have a problem with the database. Maybe you didn't map the correct columns when defining primairy and foreign keys?

Check the database, and then recreate the model to see if that's the case.

Cheers,

Yep, you're right, of course. I had related the Id to Id, rather than the Id to the PhotoAlbumId. On a side note, neither the diagram nor the model therefore could determine that there was a 1:M relationship in place.
