Hi there,

i have 2 tables: User and Account, with a M-1 relation. So, each User has to correspond to an Account.

If i want to associate an User to an Account, can i do this: userObject.AccountId = Id;

or do i need to have the object Account and then: userObject.Account = accountObject;

???

thans in advance

Hi,

both methods should work well.

Now, if you have your account entity/collection to hand, you may prefer the second one since it does all the inner plumbings which may for instance allow you to save all your users recursively in a single call to save your account collection.

I also usually prefers userObject.Account = accountObject than accountObject.User.Add(userObject) since it does update both sides and corresponds to the natural action, though I reckon it's permitted to increment the collection since a few releases.

Cheers

Thanks
