EF5 Code First和RIA Services Silverlight“对象引用未设置为对象的实例”错误构建客户端

我正在使用Code First为使用RIA服务的silverlight中的实体框架5建立一个新项目.由于我遇到的一些问题,我已经创建了一个测试项目,并将在下面发布代码.

也就是说,每当我尝试构建应该生成客户端代理类的silverlight客户端项目时,我都会得到一个“对象引用未设置为对象的实例”错误.

为了清楚起见,这个错误不是在运行或调试应用程序时,而是在构建它时.

我已经发现,只有在我的Code First类中定义了任何导航属性/外键时才会发生这种情况.

今晚的任何帮助将不胜感激.

{
    public int PersonId { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public DateTime? BirthDate { get; set; }

    public virtual List<Character> Characters { get; set; }
}

public class Character
{
    public int CharacterId { get; set; }
    public int PersonId { get; set; }
    public virtual Person Person { get; set; }
    public string CharacterName { get; set; }

解决方法

您的外键字段未映射,因此代理代码生成器(在编译期间调用以构建代理的代码段)无法解释它们.
你应该把DbContext中的东西放进去

protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
 {
      modelBuilder.Entity<Character>()
          .Hasrequired(x=> x.Person)
          .WithMany(x=> x.Characters)
          .HasForeignKey(x=> x.PersonId);
 }

另外,我建议你改变你的公共虚拟列表< Character>人物{得到;组; }
公共虚拟ICollection< Character>人物{得到;组;因为我不确定代理生成器(以及EF)是否会正确映射该列表.
编辑：
我认为EF Metadataprovider没有在描述中提供正确的属性.
将KeyAttribute放在Character.CharacterId和Person.PersonID上,同时在Character.Person上添加这一行

[Association("Character_Person","PersonId",IsForeignKey = true)]

而这一个超过Person.Characters

Association("Character_Person","PersonId")]<br>

编辑：
在与KitKat聊天后,我们终于找到了问题所在.在代理生成期间,对Assembly.GetExportedTypes的调用崩溃了,它需要EF 4.1.
简单的推杆

<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
  <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="EntityFramework" publicKeyToken="b77a5c561934e089" culture="neutral" />
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-5.0.0.0" newVersion="5.0.0.0" />
  </dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
