    <p>Entity Framework Code First can generate the DB for the following POCOs.</p> <pre><code>public class Item { public int Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } } public class ItemPair { public int Id { get; set; } public virtual Item FirstItem { get; set; } public virtual Item SecondItem { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>I would like to establish the relationship with First and Second item via ID fields rather than the an entire "Item" class. So:</p> <pre><code>public class ItemPair { public int Id { get; set; } public virtual Item FirstItem { get; set; } public int FirstItem_Id { get; set; } public virtual Item SecondItem { get; set; } public int SecondItem_Id { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>also works. <strong>Edit</strong>: This didn't actually work. Just generates additional FirstItem_Id1 and SecontItem_Id2 columns.</p> <p>But just changing the foreign key properties to FirstItemId, SecondItemId, (without the underscore) like so:</p> <pre><code>public class ItemPair { public int Id { get; set; } public virtual Item FirstItem { get; set; } public int FirstItemId { get; set; } public virtual Item SecondItem { get; set; } public int SecondItemId { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>results in the following exception.</p> <pre><code>{"Introducing FOREIGN KEY constraint 'ItemPair_SecondItem' on table 'ItemPair' may cause cycles or multiple cascade paths. Specify ON DELETE NO ACTION or ON UPDATE NO ACTION, or modify other FOREIGN KEY constraints.\r\nCould not create constraint. See previous errors."} </code></pre> <p>Why? And what can I do to avoid this exception.</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.
