Question
I have 2 tables Jobs and Schedule
Jobs
JobId - int,PK, Identity
ScheduleId - int, FK
Title - varchar
Description - varchar
Schedules
ScheduleId - int,PK, Identity
Name - varchar
There is a relationship one to many with cascade on delete.
When I create Entity model, the generated Jobs model removes the ScheduleId field.
The Problem is that I can't Insert new Job with specified ScheduleId!
Job job = new Job();
job.title= "blabla";
job.description="xyz";
job.scheduleId=1// can't have this!
if (job.EntityState == EntityState.Detached)
{
myContext.AddToJobs(job);
}
myContext.SaveChanges();
Note: I have a row in Schedules table with scheduleId=1.

You can assign Schedule without actually loading Schedule object. Something like this:
db = new OneToManyEntities();
var address = new Address { Address1 = "Oakumber st", City = "Dallas", State = "Tx", Zip = "76111" };
address.CustomerReference.EntityKey = new EntityKey("OneToManyEntities.Customer","CustomerId",2);
db.AddToAddresses(address);
I don't like this approach, case you have to hardcode entity types in string :/ If anyone know how to do this without such hardcoding - please comment.
