Hi,

I'm running against a bug// error in my code i can't figure out.

I have two classes related to each other. Person and User(aspnetmodulezero class user) User is named PUserAccount in the class Person

public class Person : FullAuditedEntity,IMustHaveTenant
    {
        public const int MaxNameLength = 32;
        public const int MaxFirstnameLength = 32;
        public const int MaxEmailAddressLength = 255;

        public virtual int TenantId { get; set; }
        [Required]
        [MaxLength(MaxNameLength)]
        public virtual string Name { get; set; }
        [Required]
        [MaxLength(MaxFirstnameLength)]
        public virtual string FirstName { get; set; }
        public virtual string PhoneNr { get; set; }
        public virtual User **PUserAccount**{ get; set; }
        [Required]  
        [MaxLength(MaxEmailAddressLength)]      
        public virtual string Email { get; set; }

        public Person()
        {

        }       
    }

In a certain point in my application i let the admin user link a person to a User. A person can exist without a user. To achieve this i have created a domain service.

public class PersonManager : EmployeePlannerSPADomainServiceBase, IPersonManager
    {
        private readonly IRepository<Person> _personRepository;
        private readonly UserManager _userManager;
        private readonly RoleManager _roleManager;

        public PersonManager(IRepository<Person> personRepository, 
                             UserManager userManager,
                             RoleManager roleManager)
        {
            _personRepository = personRepository;
            _userManager = userManager;
            _roleManager = roleManager;
        }

        public Person GetById(int id)
        {
            return _personRepository.GetAll().Where(p => p.Id == id).FirstOrDefault();
        }

        public async Task CreateAsync(Person pers)
        {
            await _personRepository.InsertAsync(pers);
        }

        public async Task<User> CreateNewUserFromPersonAsync(Person p)
        {
            //Get standard role - Tenant id should get injected in this manager
            List<Role> roles = _roleManager.Roles.Where(r =>r.Name == StaticRoleNames.Tenants.User).ToList();
            if (roles.Count == 1)
            {
                User newU = new User()
                {
                    UserName = p.Email,
                    Name = p.Name,
                    Surname = p.FirstName,
                    EmailAddress = p.Email,                    
                    IsEmailConfirmed = false,
                    ShouldChangePasswordOnNextLogin = true,
                    IsActive = false
                };
                await _userManager.CreateAsync(newU, "123qwe");                

                await UpdateAsync(p);

                return p.PUserAccount = newU;
            }
            else
            {
                throw new ApplicationException("No suitable standard role found for new user ");
            }            
        }

        public async Task DeleteByIdAsync(int Id)
        {            
            await _personRepository.DeleteAsync(Id);
        }

        public async Task LinkPersonToUserAsync(Person p, User u)
        {
            //Check if user has been linked before
            var lPers = _personRepository.GetAll().Where(
                    per => per.PUserAccount != null &&
                           per.PUserAccount.Id == u.Id                    
                ).ToList();
            
            if (lPers.IsNullOrEmpty())
            {
                p.PUserAccount = u;
                await UpdateAsync(p);
            }
            else
            {
                throw new ApplicationException("That user account is already linked to an other person");
            }            
        }

        public async Task UpdateAsync(Person pers)
        {
            await _personRepository.UpdateAsync(pers);
        }
    }

In my domain service you see a method LinkPersonToUserAsync. When executed i receive a exception on following line

per => per.PUserAccount != null &&
                           per.PUserAccount.Id == u.Id

The error : ERROR 2016-12-01 21:34:07,433 [6 ] nHandling.AbpApiExceptionFilterAttribute - An error occurred while preparing the command definition. See the inner exception for details.

I'm not an expert on Entity framework but any help to filter on a foreign key for independent association would be appreciated. I really don't want to create a mapping with fluent mapi and define my own constraint(or create navigation properties in my poco). I have checked the database and the constraint has been autmaticaly created by EF

Currently i'm on version aspnetzero : v1.13.0.0

Thanks, Jonas

    Hi,

    Your issue seems to be related to EntityFramework.DynamicFilters library we use. You can check this issue <a class="postlink" href="https://github.com/jcachat/EntityFramework.DynamicFilters/issues/78">https://github.com/jcachat/EntityFramew ... /issues/78</a> It is still open but I think they offer a solution.

    I spent a significant amount of time trying to solve that problem and could not find a solution. So the only way to make that work is to define the ID properties in your models.

    I don't want to place a foreignkey on my model. breaks the seperate layer design. So besides that solution is there a work around ? a certain mapping i can do in fluent api?

    As one must continue it's development i have defined a navigation property on my model. Something i really didn't want to do.

    modelBuilder.Entity<Person>().Property(p => p.PUserAccount_Id).IsOptional().HasColumnName("PUserAccount_Id");
    modelBuilder.Entity<Person>().HasOptional(p => p.PUserAccount).WithMany().HasForeignKey(pers => pers.PUserAccount_Id);
    

    But hey, what can you do... If someone finds a better solution for this in the future, i'd love to hear it.

    @ ismcagdas - Thx for the link ;)

    @Jonas452 - Would you mind sharing the specifics on how you resolved this error? I am getting the exact same error message on several of my entities. I do not use the "ForeignKey" annotation in my models. Also, where you do place the modelBuilder.Entity code you are showing above, I cannot find it anywhere in the solution?

    Yeah No Prob.

    regular class : src / SixByte.JobByte.Core / Scheduler /

    namespace SixByte.JobByte.Scheduler
    {
        public abstract class Day : FullAuditedEntity,IMustHaveTenant
        {        
            public virtual int TenantId { get; set; }
            [Required]
            public virtual DateTime OnDate { get; set; }
            public virtual string Description { get; set; }
            [Required]
            public virtual bool Locked { get; set; }
            //public virtual WorkSchedule WorkSchedule { get; set; }
    
            //Foreign key
            public virtual int WorkScheduleId { get; set; }
        }
    }
    

    And then in your dbcontext : src / SixByte.JobByte.EntityFramework / EntityFramework / JobByteDbContext.cs Do note: I made an extra addition for switching to mariaDB/mysql. Was needed because mysql doesn't support schemas and i always will group my tables. As you can see i changed the schema's of aspnetzero and aspnetboilerplate. = no dbo schema

    namespace SixByte.JobByte.EntityFramework
    {
        /* Constructors of this DbContext is important and each one has it's own use case.
         * - Default constructor is used by EF tooling on development time.
         * - constructor(nameOrConnectionString) is used by ABP on runtime.
         * - constructor(existingConnection) is used by unit tests.
         * - constructor(existingConnection,contextOwnsConnection) can be used by ABP if DbContextEfTransactionStrategy is used.
         * See http://www.aspnetboilerplate.com/Pages/Documents/EntityFramework-Integration for more.
