如何:使用导航运算符导航关系 (EntityClient)

本主题提供一个示例,该示例演示如何使用 EntityCommand 对实体数据模型执行命令,以及如何使用 EntityDataReader 检索 RefType 结果。

运行本示例中的代码

  1. 将 AdventureWorks 销售模型添加到项目并将项目配置为使用实体框架。为此,请执行下列操作之一:

  2. 在应用程序的代码页中,添加以下 using 语句(在 Visual Basic 中为 Imports):

    Imports System
    Imports System.Collections.Generic
    Imports System.Collections
    Imports System.Data.Common
    Imports System.Data
    Imports System.Data.SqlClient
    Imports System.Data.EntityClient
    Imports System.Data.Metadata.Edm
    Imports System.IO
    ' Add AdventureWorksModel prepended with the root namespace for the project.
    'Imports ProjectName.AdventureWorksModel
    
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Collections;
    using System.Data.Common;
    using System.Data;
    using System.IO;
    using System.Data.SqlClient;
    using System.Data.EntityClient;
    using AdventureWorksModel;
    using System.Data.Metadata.Edm;
    

示例

以下示例显示如何通过使用 NAVIGATE (Entity SQL) 运算符导航 Entity SQL 中的关系。Navigate 运算符具有以下参数:实体的实例、关系-类型、关系的结束和关系的开始。Navigate 运算符的简化版本具有实体的实例和关系-类型。以下示例说明如何使用 Navigate 运算符的简化版本。

Using connection As EntityConnection = New EntityConnection("name=AdventureWorksEntities")
    connection.Open()

    Try
        ' Create an EntityCommand and pass the connection object 
        ' and Entity SQL query to its constructor.
        Using cmd As EntityCommand = connection.CreateCommand()
            ' Create an Entity SQL query.
            Dim esqlQuery As String = "SELECT address.AddressID, (SELECT VALUE DEREF(soh) FROM " & _
                "NAVIGATE(address, AdventureWorksModel.FK_SalesOrderHeader_Address_BillToAddressID) " & _
                "AS soh) FROM AdventureWorksEntities.Address AS address"

            cmd.CommandText = esqlQuery
            ' Execute the command.
            Using reader As DbDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.SequentialAccess)
                ' Start reading.
                Do While reader.Read
                    Console.WriteLine(reader.Item("AddressID"))
                Loop
            End Using
        End Using
    Catch ex As EntityException
        Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString())
    End Try
    connection.Close()
End Using
using (EntityConnection conn =
    new EntityConnection("name=AdventureWorksEntities"))
{
    conn.Open();
    try
    {
        // Create an EntityCommand.
        using (EntityCommand cmd = conn.CreateCommand())
        {
            // Create an Entity SQL query.
            string esqlQuery =
                @"SELECT address.AddressID, (SELECT VALUE DEREF(soh) FROM 
              NAVIGATE(address, AdventureWorksModel.FK_SalesOrderHeader_Address_BillToAddressID) 
              AS soh) FROM AdventureWorksEntities.Address AS address";

            cmd.CommandText = esqlQuery;

            // Execute the command.
            using (DbDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.SequentialAccess))
            {
                // Start reading.
                while (rdr.Read())
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(rdr["AddressID"]);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    catch (EntityException ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
    }
    conn.Close();
}
