当对象具有关系时，使用 LINQ to SQL 添加记录是否有秘诀？

我正在使用 LINQ to SQL、ASP.NET MVC 和 C#。我有一个名为genesisRepository连接到数据库。

我有一个用名为 Stream 的对象表示的表。它的定义如下：

[Table]
public class Stream
{
    [HiddenInput(DisplayValue = false)]
    [Column(IsPrimaryKey = true, IsDbGenerated = true, AutoSync = AutoSync.OnInsert)]
    public long StreamID { get; set; }

    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter a stream name")]
    [Column]
    public string StreamName { get; set; }

   /* Other columns removed for brevity */ 

    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter a stream URL")]
    [Column]
    public string StreamUrl { get; set; }

    private EntitySet<StreamEntry> _StreamEntry;
    [System.Data.Linq.Mapping.Association(Storage = "_StreamEntry", OtherKey = "StreamID")]
    public EntitySet<StreamEntry> StreamEntry
    {
        get { return this._StreamEntry; }
        set { this._StreamEntry.Assign(value); }
    }

    private EntitySet<Stream2FieldTypes> _Stream2FieldTypes;
    [System.Data.Linq.Mapping.Association(Storage = "_Stream2FieldTypes", OtherKey = "StreamID")]
    public EntitySet<Stream2FieldTypes> Stream2FieldTypes
    {
        get { return this._Stream2FieldTypes; }
        set { this._Stream2FieldTypes.Assign(value); }
    }

}

我的控制器中有一个测试操作，用于在我的控制器中创建新记录Stream table.

    public ActionResult StreamTest()
    {
        // create new stream
        var stream = new Genesis.Domain.Entities.Stream();

        stream.StreamUrl = "url";
        stream.StreamName = "name";
        stream.StreamBody = null;
        stream.StreamTitle = null;
        stream.StreamKeywords = null;
        stream.StreamDescription = null;

        genesisRepository.CreateStream(stream); 

        return View("Index");
    }

功能genesisRepository()看起来像这样：

    public long CreateStream(Stream stream)
    {            
        streamTable.InsertOnSubmit(stream);
        streamTable.Context.SubmitChanges();
        return stream.StreamID;
    }

执行 ActionResult 时出现空引用错误StreamTest()。 genesisRepository 不为空。streamTable不为 null，并且新创建的对象stream显然也不为空。我唯一能想到的是空的是EntitySet<T>定义外部关系的属性。

因此，我将 ActionResult 代码修改为：

    public ActionResult StreamTest()
    {
        // create new stream
        var stream = new Genesis.Domain.Entities.Stream();

        stream.Stream2FieldTypes = new EntitySet<Stream2FieldTypes>(); // new
        stream.StreamEntry = new EntitySet<StreamEntry>(); // new
        stream.StreamUrl = "url";
        stream.StreamName = "name";
        stream.StreamBody = null;
        stream.StreamTitle = null;
        stream.StreamKeywords = null;
        stream.StreamDescription = null;

        genesisRepository.CreateStream(stream); // CreateStream() returns ID as long

        return View("Index");
    }

但是当我尝试这样做时，我收到了这个错误：

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Source Error: 
Line 58:         {
Line 59:             get { return this._Stream2FieldTypes; }
Line 60:             set { this._Stream2FieldTypes.Assign(value); } <-- the offending line
Line 61:         }
Line 62: 
Source File: C:\path\to\Stream.cs    Line: 60 

我可以使用创建新记录streamTable.Context.ExecuteCommand("INSERT INTO genesis.dbo.Stream (StreamName, StreamUrl) VALUES ('Name', 'url');");.

我不明白如何从这里继续前进。我怎样才能简单地创建一个新记录Stream?

尝试以下操作。在类声明中替换它：

public class Stream
{   
    private EntitySet<StreamEntry> _StreamEntry;
    private EntitySet<Stream2FieldTypes> _Stream2FieldTypes;
}

有了这个：

public class Stream
{   
    private EntitySet<StreamEntry> _StreamEntry = new EntitySet<StreamEntry>();
    private EntitySet<Stream2FieldTypes> _Stream2FieldTypes = new EntitySet<Stream2FieldTypes>();
}
