I have two tables - ContactInformation & EmailAddress - which have a many to many (* : *) relationship. After making this association in the ADO.NET data model and generate the db from it, a table titled ContactInformationEmailAddresses which maps the two tables is created in the Entities Container.
Unlike when I scaffold views which have a 1:* relationship, there's no entries available for its counterpart in the view when I scaffold either one and scaffolding off the combined table isn't an option even after updating the model from the db.
My question is simply: is there an automated way to generate the creation form for ContactInformationEmailAddresses that will have the EmailAddress entry field?
At present the scaffolding templates don’t support generating views that require the selection and association with more than one entity – the “many” end of the association.
