I am trying to use the SimpleRepository feature in Subsonic3 - first of all, I must say a big thanks to RobC - Subsonic really rocks, and I can't wait to see additional updates to the SimpleRepository. I am a big fan of the migration approach (developer/class driven rather than starting with the DB).
I have had a look at the post here: Parent and Child object in SimpleRepository but I am still a bit confused.
If I have got these classes defined:
public class Permit {
public int PermitID {get; set;}
public string Number { get; set; }
public DateTime? DateIssued { get; set; }
public Product product { get; set; }
}
public class Product
{
public int ProductID { get; set; }
public string Value { get; set; }
}
and then I want to save the data for a Permit, what should I be doing? Should I have defined a ProductID in the Permit class, and then programatically link them up? Or should the below code work?
var repo = new SimpleRepository("ECPermit", SimpleRepositoryOptions.RunMigrations);
var permit = new Permit();
var product = new Product();
permit.Number = "apermit";
permit.DateAdded = DateTime.Now;
product.Value = "this is a product";
repo.Add(permit);
permit.product = product;
repo.Add(product);
This is creating the Permit and Product table, but no links between them. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
