查询实体和关联(实体框架快速入门)

在本任务中,您将针对在 School 模型中表示实体和关联的 CLR 对象创建强类型查询,并将显示控件绑定到从这些查询中返回的对象集合。

在 School 数据库中查询系

  1. CourseViewer 窗体的代码文件的开始处,添加以下 using (C#) 或 Imports (Visual Basic) 语句,以引用从 School 数据库和实体命名空间中创建的模型。

    Imports System.Data.Objects
    Imports System.Data.Objects.DataClasses
    
    using System.Data.Objects;
    using System.Data.Objects.DataClasses;
    
  2. CourseViewer 窗体的分部类定义的顶部,添加以下用于创建 ObjectContext 实例的代码。

    ' Create an ObjectContext instance based on SchoolEntity.
    Private schoolContext As SchoolEntities
    
    //Create an ObjectContext instance based on SchoolEntity
    private SchoolEntities schoolContext;
    
  3. CourseViewer 窗体设计器中,双击 CourseViewer 窗体。

    此时将打开窗体的代码页并创建 courseViewer _Load 事件处理程序方法。

  4. courseViewer _Load 事件处理程序方法中,复制并粘贴以下用于定义 DataGridView 的代码,执行返回系科集合的查询(按 Name 排序),然后将 Department 对象的集合绑定到 departmentList 控件。

    ' Initialize the ObjectContext.
    schoolContext = New SchoolEntities()
    
    ' Define a query that returns all Department objects
    ' and related Course objects, ordered by name.
    Dim departmentQuery As ObjectQuery(Of Department) = _
        From d In schoolContext.Departments.Include("Courses") _
        Order By d.Name _
        Select d
    Try
        ' Bind the ComboBox control to the query.
        ' To prevent the query from being executed multiple times during binding, 
        ' it is recommended to bind controls to the result of the Execute method. 
        Me.departmentList.DisplayMember = "Name"
        Me.departmentList.DataSource = CType(departmentQuery, ObjectQuery).Execute(MergeOption.AppendOnly)
    Catch ex As Exception
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
    End Try
    
    //Initialize the ObjectContext
    schoolContext = new SchoolEntities();
    
    // Define a query that returns all Department  
    // objects and course objects, ordered by name.
    var departmentQuery = from d in schoolContext.Departments.Include("Courses")
                          orderby d.Name
                          select d;
    try
    {
        // Bind the ComboBox control to the query, 
        // which is executed during data binding.
        // To prevent the query from being executed multiple times during binding, 
        // it is recommended to bind controls to the result of the Execute method. 
        this.departmentList.DisplayMember = "Name";
        this.departmentList.DataSource = ((ObjectQuery)departmentQuery).Execute(MergeOption.AppendOnly);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    }
    

显示所选系的课程

  1. CourseViewer 窗体设计器中,双击 departmentList 控件。

    此时将创建 departmentList_SelectedIndexChanged 事件处理程序方法。

  2. 粘贴以下用于加载与所选系相关的课程的代码。

    Try
        ' Get the object for the selected department.
        Dim department As Department = _
            CType(Me.departmentList.SelectedItem, Department)
    
        ' Bind the grid view to the collection of Course objects 
        ' that are related to the selected Department object.
        courseGridView.DataSource = department.Courses
    
        ' Hide the columns that are bound to the navigation properties on Course.
        courseGridView.Columns("Department").Visible = False
        courseGridView.Columns("StudentGrades").Visible = False
        courseGridView.Columns("OnlineCourse").Visible = False
        courseGridView.Columns("OnsiteCourse").Visible = False
        courseGridView.Columns("People").Visible = False
        courseGridView.Columns("DepartmentId").Visible = False
    
        courseGridView.AllowUserToDeleteRows = False
    courseGridView.AutoResizeColumns(DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.AllCells)
    Catch ex As Exception
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
    End Try
    
        try
        {
            //Get the object for the selected department.
            Department department = (Department)this.departmentList.SelectedItem;
    
            //Bind the grid view to the collection of Course objects
            // that are related to the selected Department object.
            courseGridView.DataSource = department.Courses;
    
            // Hide the columns that are bound to the navigation properties on Course.
            courseGridView.Columns["Department"].Visible = false;
            courseGridView.Columns["StudentGrades"].Visible = false;
            courseGridView.Columns["OnlineCourse"].Visible = false;
            courseGridView.Columns["OnsiteCourse"].Visible = false;
            courseGridView.Columns["People"].Visible = false;
            courseGridView.Columns["DepartmentId"].Visible = false;
    
            courseGridView.AllowUserToDeleteRows = false;
    courseGridView.AutoResizeColumns(DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.AllCells);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
        }
    

后续步骤

您已成功地创建了返回 DepartmentCourse 对象的查询并将这些对象绑定到控件。 接下来,您需要将在数据网格中对 Course 对象所做的更改保存到数据库中:插入和更新数据(实体框架快速入门)
