In this chapter, we looked at how we can manage database table's relationships in our conceptual model using the Entity Framework Database First approach. We also looked at how Entity Framework keeps track of the relationships between entities and lets us use the relationships effectively by providing navigation properties in entities. We also saw how we can perform database operations in related entities using the navigation properties. In the next chapter, we will look at how we can perform model validations using Entity Framework to ensure that only valid values get persisted in the database.

Overview of this book
<p>Data access is an integral part of any software application. Entity Framework provides a model-based system that makes data access effortless for developers by freeing you from writing similar data access code for all of your domain models.</p>
<p>Mastering Entity Framework provides you with a range of options when developing a data-oriented application. You’ll get started by managing the database relationships as Entity relationships and perform domain modeling using Entity Framework. You will then explore how you can reuse data access layer code such as stored procedures and table-valued functions, and perform various typical activities such as validations and error handling. You’ll learn how to retrieve data by querying the Entity Data Model and understand how to use LINQ to Entities and Entity SQL to query the Entity Data Model.</p>
