EF Code First Migrations Error on Foreign Key Constraints

Got this error message: Introducing FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_dbo.Emails_dbo.Certificates_CertificateId' on table 'Emails' may cause cycles or multiple cascade paths. Specify ON DELETE NO ACTION or ON UPDATE NO ACTION, or modify other FOREIGN KEY constraints.

SOLUTION: Change the Up Method of the migration on the ForeignKey field as follows:

.ForeignKey("dbo.Creators", t => t.SenderId, cascadeDelete: false)
.ForeignKey("dbo.Certificates", t => t.CertificateId, cascadeDelete: false)

Change cascadeDelete to false.

This would have the same effect as truncate, minus the warning...(be careful, this also deletes all the data of the table referencing this table)

DELETE FROM dbo.Creators DBCC CHECKIDENT ('dbo.Creators',RESEED, 0)

Set Up Code First Migrations for EF in ASP.NET MVC 4

PM> update-database

4.  If adding a property to the model classes, change the model class then do an add as follows, any arbitrary name will do:

PM> add-migration AddSoldToPartyAndShipToParty

PM> update-database
