What is the best way to databind parent/child relations? Lets say I have two simple objects:
Parent with the following properties, ParentId, Name and Childs and
Child with the following properties, ChildId, Name and Parent.
I want to write a repository using MySql for this but is failing when I bind both Childs and Parent properties, I have only been able to bind either the Childs property of parent or the Parent property och Child or else I would get a infinite loop. Thinking of it the preferable solution would be to only bind this properties when requested.
If I use Linq to
sql i would be able to write Parent.Childs[0].Parent.Name but how should I accomplish this with my own repository and with MySql, could anyone point me in the right direction? Looking at the Linq 2
sql generated classes they use EntitySet<Child and EntityRef<Parent could this be used with Mysql?
I had a thought of using my IChildRepository in the Parent object and let the Public IEnumerable Childs databind the childs but it seems not right?
Best regards
