    <p>I recently came across this strange problem with Entity Framework Code First.</p> <p>My class looks like this</p> <pre><code>public class Status { [Key] public int StatusID { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public int MemberID { get; set; } [ForeignKey("MemberID")] public virtual Member Member { get; set; } public int PosterID { get; set; } [ForeignKey("PosterID")] public virtual Member Poster { get; set; } public virtual ICollection&lt;StatusLike&gt; StatusLikes { get; set; } public virtual ICollection&lt;StatusComment&gt; StatusComments { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>My Member class looks like this</p> <pre><code> public class Member { [Key] public int MemberID { get; set; } public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public string Bio { get; set; } public virtual ICollection&lt;MemberCourseTaken&gt; MemberCourseTakens { get; set; } public virtual ICollection&lt;Status&gt; Statuses { get; set; } public virtual ICollection&lt;Club&gt; FoundedClubs { get; set; } public string EmailAddress { get; set; } public string Password { get; set; } public string Phone { get; set; } public int AccountSourceID { get; set; } public AccountSource AccountSource { get; set; } public int AddressID { get; set; } public Address Address { get; set; } public string ProfilePhoto { get; set; } public int MemberRankID { get; set; } public MemberRank MemberRank { get; set; } public DateTime Created { get; set; } public DateTime Modified { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>And for whatever reason the database table that is created has the following columns</p> <pre><code>StatusID Name MemberID PosterID Member_MemberID </code></pre> <p>with <code>MemberID</code>, <code>PosterID</code>, and <code>Member_MemberID</code> being foreign keys.</p> <p>How can I keep <code>Member_MemberID</code> from being generated?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
