Hi, I have 2 entity which have one to many relation between. Lets name them School and student. When I'm creating School I'm getting cycling problem . I did all the configuration in Configure class but nothing worked. There is a way with [JsonIgnore] but I don't think it is the best way of it.

    This isn't clear to me. You have a circular dependency issue? What do you mean by cycling problem? Are you getting an error, if so then provide us the error?

    Also provide us sample code to see what you are talking about. At a minimum show us your POCOs that are causing the issue + any entity configurations you're using to map the POCOs to the database. In general the problem is caused by defining relationships on both sets of entities. You should define relationships on only 1 of the entities. EF will handle the bidirectional nature of the relationships.
