i have a problem with EF CodeFirst. I have some Model inherited from my BaseModel, and i want to include Images in some Models. For example i have EFModel User
public class User : BaseModel<User>
{
/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="User"/> class.
/// </summary>
public User()
{
Photos = new HashSet<Photo>();
}
/// <summary>
/// Images
/// </summary>
public ICollection<Photo> Photos { get; set; }
}
And another EF Model named Spot
/// <summary>
/// Eventlocation
/// </summary>
[DebuggerDisplay("Spot: {Name} Coordinate: {Coordinate}")]
public class Spot : BaseModel<Spot>, ISpot
{
/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="Spot"/> class.
/// </summary>
public Spot()
{
Photos = new HashSet<Photo>();
}
/// <summary>
/// Name
/// </summary>
[Display(Name = "Spotname", GroupName = "Names", ResourceType = typeof(Texts))]
[Required]
public string Name { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Description
/// </summary>
[Display(Name = "Description", Description = "SpotDescription", GroupName = "Names", ResourceType = typeof(Texts))]
public string Description { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Geo Position
/// </summary>
public GeoCoordinate Coordinate { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Images
/// </summary>
public ICollection<Photo> Photos { get; set; }
}
In both EF Models i want to have a list of photos. Currently the Photo Entity only have Name and description (byte[] i will made later)
public class Photo
{
/// <summary>
/// Identifier
/// </summary>
[Key]
public int Id { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Imagename
/// </summary>
public string Name { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Imagedescription
/// </summary>
public string Description { get; set; }
}
So everything is working, but my problem is the generated table. Because Entity generates the table "dbo.Photos" with following columns | ID (PK) | Name | Description | User_ID (FK) | Spot_ID (FK)
But i want to have simple table that i can easy use for all BaseModels without to need to have it in BaseModel class. But i want to have for example following columns
| ID (PK) | Name | Description | RelationModel_ID (FK)
I really dont know how i can make this. And i hope somebody can help me.
Thank you very much
///EDIT:
BaseModel
public abstract class BaseModel : IBaseModel, IEquatable<BaseModel>
{
[Key]
[HiddenInput(DisplayValue = false)]
public Guid Id { get; set; }
}
public abstract class BaseModel<T>:BaseModel
where T:BaseModel<T>,new()
{
public static T Create()
{
var result = new T(){Id = Guid.NewGuid()};
result.UpdateOwner();
return result;
}
}
