"The given key was not present in the dictionary." when adding Association to Entities

entity-framework views

Question

Entity Diagram

Using EF6 / VS 2013, I have created an ADO.NET Entity Data Model. This model uses three views, stored in SQL Server, to prepare the data in a suitable form from an existing system. One for Users (vw_Users), one for Roles (vw_Roles) and a cross-reference/association view (vw_UserRoles).

When the User and Role entities are mapped, the application compiles and executes without issue. However, when I add the Association between User and Role and map it to the vw_UserRoles view, I get an EntityCommandCompilationException with an inner exception, KeyNotFoundException {"The given key was not present in the dictionary."}.

An exception of type 'System.Data.Entity.Core.EntityCommandCompilationException' occurred in mscorlib.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: An error occurred while preparing the command definition. See the inner exception for details.

To me it just feels like a bug but I am new to a lot of the EF and it could be to do with connecting to views. Out of interest I implemented this trick to treat the view as a table but it made no difference.

UPDATE #1: I created a new web application with a new SQL Server database. I created the underlying tables with relationships and a view for each table. When I create a entity model based on the tables, I have no problems -- even with the association. When I created a model from the views, I get the KeyNotFoundException. Note: I have corrected the keys and added and mapped the association on the second, view-based model. You can download the project from here - http://sdrv.ms/1eZ7ytp

UPDATE #2: I have logged this as an issue with MS @ Codeplex - https://entityframework.codeplex.com/workitem/1777

I'm still stumped on this one and am really keen to complete this using a series of views. Any thoughts? Please....?

UPDATE: Identified as a regression as part of the initial EF6 release.

Thanks for reviewing the project for me, @Pawel. If you can put a comment on the CodePlex issue, that would likely aid in it getting some priority. http://entityframework.codeplex.com/workitem/1777

On one hand I am happy the issue is repeatable and a likely bug. On the other hand, I just want to get on with doing this in EF 6. I have resorted to completing this in VS 2012 using EF 5 for the meantime. I will update if I uncover anything else.

I have the same issue. When the model was originally created the EF version used was 5. Now using VS 2012 and EF6. Don't want to roll back to EF5.

Which comes first: independent or foreign key associations?

Use both. And make your entity references virtual to allow for lazy loading. Like this:...public class Order { public int ID { get; set; } public int CustomerID { get; set; } public virtual Customer Customer { get; set; } // <-- Customer object ... } ...This saves on unnecessary DB lookups, allows lazy loading, and allows you to easily see/...
