When configuring relationships with the Fluent API, you will use the Has/With pattern. The Has side of the pattern is represented by the HasOne
and HasMany
methods. The With side of the relationship is represented by the WithOne
and WithMany
methods.
The HasOne
method is used for reference navigation properties as is the WithOne
method. The HasMany
and WithMany
methods are used for collection navigation properties.
A Has*
method must be combined with a With*
method to configure a valid relationship.
