    <p>I'm stuck at trying to write the Entity Framework 4.1 code first model for the following DB relationship.</p> <p>Here is a visual of the relationship.<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/zlzef.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>dbo.[Companies] can have either Seller or Debtor as Company Types.</p> <p>dbo.[SellerDebtors] defines the connection a Seller Company has with a Debtor Company.</p> <p>The code i've written is based on my original EF 4.0 POCO model code. This is what I've come up with - This code does not work. </p> <pre><code>public class SellerDebtor { public int SellerDebtorId { get; set; } public int DebtorCompanyId { get; set; } public int SellerCompanyId { get; set; } public Company DebtorCompany { get; set; } public Company SellerCompany { get; set; } public ICollection&lt;SellerDebtorInfo&gt; SellerDebtorInfos { get; set; } public ICollection&lt;SellerDebtorFile&gt; SellerDebtorFiles { get; set; } } public class Company { public int CompanyId { get; set; } public string CompanyType { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public virtual ICollection&lt;User&gt; Users { get; set; } public virtual ICollection&lt;CompanyInfo&gt; CompanyInfos { get; set; } public virtual ICollection&lt;CompanyFile&gt; CompanyFiles { get; set; } public virtual ICollection&lt;SellerDebtor&gt; SellerDebtorDebtorCompanies { get; set; } public virtual ICollection&lt;SellerDebtor&gt; SellerDebtorSellerCompanies { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>At the moment, I'm getting this as an error:</p> <pre><code>System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid column name 'DebtorCompany_CompanyId'. Invalid column name 'SellerCompany_CompanyId'. Invalid column name 'Company_CompanyId'. Invalid column name 'Company_CompanyId1'. </code></pre> <p>Ideally, I'd like to be able to maintain the naming of the relationships.</p> <p>I'm guessing i need to set some attributes but i'm not sure what to set. </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.
