Я создаю приложение Silverlight 4 с использованием Entity Framework, RIA Services и инструментария MVVM-Light.Приложение работает со сложным графом объектов, который имеет следующую структуру:

  • Задание 1 -> * Ресурсы
  • Задание 1 -> * Рабочие планы
  • Рабочий план 1-> * WorkplanItems
  • Ресурс 1 -> * Назначение
  • WorkplanItems 1 -> * Назначение

Я хотел бы иметь возможность загрузить задание (используя ВключитьАтрибуты / директива) и это работает нормально.загрузить полный график из корня конкретной работы.Однако, когда я отправляю изменения обратно, я получаю сообщение об ошибке 

Entity for operation '0' has multiple parents

Из этого сообщения я понял, что атрибут Composition в моих метаданных должен позволять мне отправлять этов виде полного графика, а затем корректно обработать обновление всех объектов на сервере за один прием из моего приложения silverlight.Моя цель - не отправлять изменения с каждым изменением, а позволить пользователю вносить изменения в задание и связанные с ним части, а затем отправлять их или отменять изменения.

Пожалуйста, дайте мне знатьесли вам известны какие-либо проблемы, которые я пропустил в этом?Вот метаданные, как я настроил:

Я выяснил решение моей проблемы. На самом деле это действительно мощно, если вы понимаете некоторые из этих внутренних работ и предостережений:

  1. Примените только атрибуты [Композиция] и [Включить] к корню графа вашего объекта.
  2. Ваш корневой объект Композиции - это то, что отправляется и начинается процесс обновления.
  3. EntityState вашего корневого объекта может фактически не представлять Обновление (как было в моем случае).
  4. Что когда-либо снова присоединяет ваш график, все объекты присоединяются, и их состояние устанавливается на одно и то же значение (вставлено, обновлено, удалено и т. Д.)
  5. После повторного присоединения графика вам необходимо обновить каждую сущность в соответствии с отправленным набором изменений.

Может быть, я еще до конца не понимаю; Тем не менее, это работает в моей среде. Я хотел бы найти лучший способ сделать это, но, похоже, я сталкиваюсь с различными проблемами, когда пытаюсь применить общий метод присоединения.

Вот то, что я придумал для моего метода обновления: 

public void UpdateJob(Job currentJob)
    {
        //this.ObjectContext.Jobs.AttachAsModified(currentJob, this.ChangeSet.GetOriginal(currentJob));

        // compositional update process
        foreach (Assignment a in this.ChangeSet.GetAssociatedChanges(currentJob, j => j.Assignments))
        {
            ChangeOperation op = this.ChangeSet.GetChangeOperation(a);
            switch (op)
            {
                case ChangeOperation.Insert:
                    InsertAssignment(a);
                    break;
                case ChangeOperation.Update:
                    UpdateAssignment(a);
                    break;
                case ChangeOperation.Delete:
                    DeleteAssignment(a);
                    break;
                case ChangeOperation.None:
                    if (a.EntityState == EntityState.Detached)
                        this.ObjectContext.Assignments.Attach(a);
                    System.Data.Objects.ObjectStateEntry ose;
                    if (this.ObjectContext.ObjectStateManager.TryGetObjectStateEntry(a.EntityKey, out ose))
                        this.ObjectContext.ObjectStateManager.ChangeObjectState(a, EntityState.Unchanged);
                    break;
            }
        }

        foreach (WorkplanItem wpi in this.ChangeSet.GetAssociatedChanges(currentJob, j => j.WorkplanItems))
        {
            ChangeOperation op = this.ChangeSet.GetChangeOperation(wpi);
            switch (op)
            {
                case ChangeOperation.Insert:
                    InsertWorkplanItem(wpi);
                    break;
                case ChangeOperation.Update:
                    UpdateWorkplanItem(wpi);
                    break;
                case ChangeOperation.Delete:
                    DeleteWorkplanItem(wpi);

public partial class Assignment

    // This class allows you to attach custom attributes to properties
    // of the Assignment class.
