Hi All,

I am just curious as to why .NET tiers will not generate my foreign key get methods for my service layer?

I have three tables: table A table B and Table C.

Table A is the primary key table for table B and table B is the primary key table for Table C

only table C ever has it's get by foreignkey methods created.

Is this because in tables A and B the foregin key is also part of an index?

If so why does this stop the creation of these methods?  Is there a particular architecture, or any other, reason as to why this would be bad practice?

Thanks in advance

Pete

peterv,

I couldn't replicate the issue you describe. netTiers should generate the GetByFK method even if the column also indexed.

I had lots of problems with this.

Some I could fix some I could not.

 1. Make sure the tool you used to create the relationships did what you expected it to do.
     One tool I used to do my schema did not update the relationships.

 2. Some tools require that the relationship match an existing index.

 3. The tool does a good job, but it is not perfect, so check what is generated and see if it is doing what you want, it doesn't allways!!!
