My original question is here.
Below is my updated code.
Public Function StockTransferItemRemove(removeRequest As StockTransferItemRequest) As StockTransferItemResponse Implements IStockTransferService.StockTransferItemRemove
' create your objects
Dim removeResponse = New StockTransferItemResponse
Dim stockTransfer As New StockTransfer
Dim stockTransferItem As New StockTransferItem
Try
' get the aggregate root
stockTransfer = _stockTransferRepository.FindBy(removeRequest.StockTransferID).FirstOrDefault
stockTransfer.RemoveItem(removeRequest.StockTransferItemView.Id)
_stockTransferRepository.Save(stockTransfer)
Dim count As Integer = _uow.WMSCommit()
If (count > 0) Then
' the object was saved succesfully
removeResponse.Success = True
Else
' the object was not saved successfully
removeResponse.BrokenRules.Add(New BusinessRule(String.Empty, String.Empty, Tags.Messages.Commit_Failed))
End If
Catch ex As Exception
' an unexpected error occured
removeResponse.BrokenRules.Add(New BusinessRule(String.Empty, String.Empty, ex.Message))
End Try
Return removeResponse
End Function
When the unit of work tries to commit it produces the following error message.
The operation failed: The relationship could not be changed because one or more of
the foreign-key properties is non-nullable. When a change is made to a relationship,
the related foreign-key property is set to a null value. If the foreign-key does not
support null values, a new relationship must be defined, the foreign-key property must
be assigned another non-null value, or the unrelated object must be deleted.
I know that when I use StockTransfer.RemoveItem() that it removes the item from the collection but it keeps the record in the database, which is why I am receiving the error.
Is there a way of removing the child object from an aggregate Root and persisting the aggregate root?
Im sorry for the unclear code but im a C# guy so trying to find my way in VB Code. You should use the .Clear() option on the entities link which you want to clear.
Example:
