Unable to update the EntitySet because it has a DefiningQuery and no element exists in the element to support the current operation.

 

Recently I got this error when I try to update table using Entity framework 5.

Cause :Reason for that is the target table does not have the primary key.So need to add the primary key to the target table.

Happy coding Smile

LINQ to Entities does not recognize the method 'Boolean IsNullOrWhiteSpace(System.String)' method

 

recently I have used below query to get some filterded details from my table.

dbContext.ttable.Where(r => string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(r.field))






but when I try to run above code snipped I got


“LINQ to Entities does not recognize the method 'Boolean IsNullOrWhiteSpace(System.String)' method, and this method cannot be translated into a store expression."”


after few minutes searching found the reason for that.


My query return type is IQueryable<ttable>.So this type is optimized to the deliver an optimized query.In this context all C# methods are not supported.There for I have to change the query like this and then it works Smile


dbContext.table.where.(!(b.field == null || r. b.field.Trim() == ""))

A processor named 'T4VSHost' could not be found for the directive named 'CleanupBehavior'. error VS2012 and EF 5

I install entity framework 5 to my 2012 project and create the EDMX using the already created Database schema.but project build was failed mentioning above error.so I search and found below solution.

Step 1: Go to below LOcation

s1

Step 2 :

Open EF.Utility.CS.ttinclude file and remove code part from it and save .

“<#@ CleanupBehavior Processor="T4VSHost" CleanupAfterProcessingTemplate="true" #>”

How Add a new attribute to an Entity Framework 5 model class(Data Base First)

I have entity class which was generated from entity framework 5 db first approach.So I needed to add another property to this class because I need to do few track the instance state for some reason.

There are few ways to this in Entity framework.

Approach 1 :Because entity class is partial can created another class same, same name space and add the new  property

Approach 2 : Add new property to directly to the entity and marked its as not mapped entity using NotMapped attribute.

In my scenario I used approach  2.

 

        public string Warehouse { get; set; }
public string ProductGroup { get; set; }
public string RolPackageNo { get; set; }

public virtual ICollection<Tab_AODLines> Tab_AODLines { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Tab_PickListLines> Tab_PickListLines { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Tab_SplitLines> Tab_SplitLines { get; set; }

//new property
[NotMapped]
public bool HasChanged { get; set; }



Of course you'll need to have these two using statements at the top your Entity Framework class to get things to compile.

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema;

Generate database schema from the database diagram in MS Visio 2010(Visio Forward Engineer)

 

Even though Microsoft Visio 2010 shipped with reverse engineering facility its does not have the capability of forward engineering .But there is a addin in CodePlex which gives the forward engineer capability to the Visio.Somehow Microsoft decided not to include this feature in 2010 version of Visio.

download and install above addin from below link :

Forward Engineer

After install reopen the Visio.then you will be able to see new tab called Forward Engineer.

Capture

Validate Data Model :This will validate your data model and if any error found displays in the output window

Capture

Forward Engineer :If there are no errors after the validation you can generate the query for the designed schema.

Could not find a base address that matches scheme net.tcp for the endpoint with binding NetTcpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [http].

 

Recently I have create WCF service and hosted in IIS 7.5 under was.

Then I investigate the reason and found the reason.In order to over come this issue we need to have both http,net.tcp protocols in hosted web application advanced settings under Behavior section.

image.

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it error in WAS hosted WCF service

 

Recently I have created wcf service which is on NetTCPBinding and hosted in WAS.But when I try to create proxy using WCFtestClient its always failed prompting this error. Sad smile

The reason for this is the host sent a reset signal, instead of an ack when the client tried to connect. It is therefore not a problem in the code. Either there is a firewall blocking the connection or the process that is hosting the service is not listening on that port.

  • There fore we need to marks service port  as allowed port in the server firewall by defining new rule.
  • Need to running NetTcpPort Sharing windows service and Net.Tcp  Distner adapter windows service.

After doing above two steps its works Smile Smile Smile

In order to have listed windows authentication you need to install it by going to the Server Manager and checking Windows Authentication Check box

Server Manager—>web Service--->Add Role Service

Note : - In this machine already installed the Windows authentication .other wise check box will be enabled.
