RelationshipManager Class
Used to track relationships between objects in the object context.
Assembly: System.Data.Entity (in System.Data.Entity.dll)
RelationshipManager is used to track relationships between objects in an object context. There is one instance of the RelationshipManager class for each relationship tracked in the object context. Relationships are defined by associations in the Entity Data Model (EDM). For more information, see Association (EDM).
The example in this topic is based on the Adventure Works Sales Model. The example adds new SalesOrderHeader entities to the Contact entity. Then it gets all related ends from the Contact entity and displays the relationship name, source role name, and target role name for each related end.
using (AdventureWorksEntities advWorksContext = new AdventureWorksEntities()) { Contact contact = new Contact(); // Create a new SalesOrderHeader. SalesOrderHeader newSalesOrder1 = new SalesOrderHeader(); // Add SalesOrderHeader to the Contact. contact.SalesOrderHeader.Add(newSalesOrder1); // Create another SalesOrderHeader. SalesOrderHeader newSalesOrder2 = new SalesOrderHeader(); // Add SalesOrderHeader to the Contact. contact.SalesOrderHeader.Add(newSalesOrder2); // Get all related ends IEnumerable<IRelatedEnd> relEnds = ((IEntityWithRelationships)contact).RelationshipManager .GetAllRelatedEnds(); foreach (IRelatedEnd relEnd in relEnds) { Console.WriteLine("Relationship Name: {0}", relEnd.RelationshipName); Console.WriteLine("Source Role Name: {0}", relEnd.SourceRoleName); Console.WriteLine("Target Role Name: {0}", relEnd.TargetRoleName); } }
