How to list a property of an entity in C# that is of list type in the front end?

38 views Asked by At

I have the class below Person and it has a list of its dependents. My question is how to render this on the screen, let's say I have a table of people and when clicking on one another table of dependents is displayed, if there are many records it could cost the database a lot of time. How to do this to get better performance? In the example below, each time I get the Dependents of Person property, I search through a function for the Person id.

public class  Dependent
   {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set;}
   }

public class Person
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set;}
        private List<Dependent> _dependents;
        public List<Dependent> Dependentes
{ 
  get {return _dependents = getDependentsForDatabase(this.Id);}

set { _dependents = value };

}

var dependents = new Person().Dependents;
Console.WriteLine(dependents);
   

I'm using Subsonic, but I'd like ideas regardless of the bank connection tool.

5.How can I retrieve Id of inserted entity using Entity framework?

Using DbContext.Add() method with Asynchronous SaveChanges: If you're working with asynchronous operations, you can use await DbContext.SaveChangesAsync() and then access the generated Id.

using (var dbContext = new YourDbContext())
{
   // Create a new entity
   var newEntity = new YourEntity 
   { 
    // Populate properties
    };

   // If using asynchronous SaveChanges
   dbContext.YourEntities.Add(newEntity);
   await dbContext.SaveChangesAsync();
   int newEntityId = newEntity.Id;
}
