Employee.cs

  1. using System;  
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;  
  3. using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;  
  4. using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema;  
  5. using System.Linq;  
  6. using System.Text;  
  7. using System.Threading.Tasks;

  9. namespace Table_Splitting_Update_Data_CFA  
  10. {  
  11.     public class Employee  
  12.     {  
  13.         public Employee()  
  14.         {  
  15.         }  
  16.   
  17.         [Key]  
  18.         [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]  
  19.         public int EmpId { getset; }  
  20.         public string FirstName { getset; }  
  21.         public string LastName { getset; }  
  22.   
  23.         //Navigation Properties  
  24.         public EmployeeDetails EmployeeDetails { getset; }  
  25.     }  
  26. }  

Employeedetails.cs

  1. using System;  
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;  
  3. using System.Linq;  
  4. using System.Text;  
  5. using System.Threading.Tasks;  
  6.   
  7. namespace Table_Splitting_Update_Data_CFA  
  8. {  
  9.     public class EmployeeDetails  
  10.     {  
  11.         public EmployeeDetails()  
  12.         {

  18.   
  19.         //Navigation Properties  
  20.         public Employee Employee { getset; }  
  21.     }  
  22. }  

Employeecontext.cs

  1. using System;  
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;  
  3. using System.Data.Entity;  
  4. using System.Linq;  
  5. using System.Text;  
  6. using System.Threading.Tasks;  
  7.   
  8. namespace Table_Splitting_Update_Data_CFA  
  9. {  
  10.     public class EmployeeContext : DbContext  
  11.     {  
  12.         public EmployeeContext()  
  13.             : base("EmployeeConn")  
  14.         {  
  15.             Database.SetInitializer<EmployeeContext>(new CreateDatabaseIfNotExists<EmployeeContext>());  
  16.         }  
  17.   
  18.         public DbSet<Employee> Employees { getset; }  
  19.   
  20.         protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)  
  21.         {  
  22.             modelBuilder.Entity<Employee>()  
  23.            .HasKey(pk => pk.EmpId)  
  24.            .ToTable("Employees");  
  25.   
  26.             modelBuilder.Entity<EmployeeDetails>()  
  27.                 .HasKey(pk => pk.EmpId)  
  28.                 .ToTable("Employees");  
  29.   
  30.             modelBuilder.Entity<Employee>()  
  31.                 .HasRequired(p => p.EmployeeDetails)  
  32.                 .WithRequiredPrincipal(c => c.Employee);  
  33.   
  34.             base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);  
  35.         }  
  36.     }  
  37. }  

Web.config

  1. <connectionStrings>  
  2.   <add name="EmployeeConn"  
  3.   connectionString="Data Source=WIN-B4KJ8JI75VF;Initial Catalog=EmployeeDB;Integrated Security=true"  
  4.   providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>  
  5. </connectionStrings>  

Program.cs

  1. using System;  
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;  
  3. using System.Linq;  
  4. using System.Text;  
  5. using System.Threading.Tasks;  
  6.   
  7. namespace Table_Splitting_Update_Data_CFA  
  8. {  
  9.     class Program  
  10.     {  
  11.         static void Main(string[] args)  
  12.         {  
  13.             EmployeeContext empContext = new EmployeeContext();  
  14.             int empId = 1;  
  15.             var emp = empContext.Employees.Include("EmployeeDetails").Where(a => a.EmpId.Equals(empId)).SingleOrDefault();  
  16.             emp.FirstName = "Jonny";  
  17.             emp.EmployeeDetails.Email = "[email protected]";  
  18.             empContext.SaveChanges();  
  19.         }  
  20.     }  
  21. }  

The output of this application is as in the following.
