I'll just post the code to do this using the fluent API mapping.
public class User {
public int UserID { get; set; }
public string Username { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }
public ICollection<UserEmail> UserEmails { get; set; }
}
public class Email {
public int EmailID { get; set; }
public string Address { get; set; }
public ICollection<UserEmail> UserEmails { get; set; }
}
public class UserEmail {
public int UserID { get; set; }
public int EmailID { get; set; }
public bool IsPrimary { get; set; }
}
On your DbContext derived class you could do this:
public class MyContext : DbContext {
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder builder) {
// Primary keys
builder.Entity<User>().HasKey(q => q.UserID);
builder.Entity<Email>().HasKey(q => q.EmailID);
builder.Entity<UserEmail>().HasKey(q =>
new {
q.UserID, q.EmailID
});
// Relationships
builder.Entity<UserEmail>()
.HasRequired(t => t.Email)
.WithMany(t => t.UserEmails)
.HasForeignKey(t => t.EmailID)
builder.Entity<UserEmail>()
.HasRequired(t => t.User)
.WithMany(t => t.UserEmails)
.HasForeignKey(t => t.UserID)
}
}
It has the same effect as the accepted answer, with a different approach, which is no better nor worse.
