asp.net – EF更新记录属性后在SaveChanges()上抛出NullReferenceException ..有时

我的简化数据库：

+----------+
   |Products  |
   +----------+
   |ProductID |
   |ProdName  |
   |Desc      |
   |BrandID   |
   |CategoryID|
   +----------+

   +----------+
   |Brands    |
   +----------+
   |BrandID   |
   |BrandName |
   |ImageID   |
   |Desc      |
   +----------+

   +----------+
   |Categories|
   +----------+
   |CategoryID|
   |CategName |
   |ImageID   |
   |Desc      |
   +----------+

   +----------+
   |Images    |
   +----------+
   |ImageID   |
   |Path      |
   +----------+

   +----------+
   |ImageLinks|
   +----------+
   |ImageID   |
   |ProductID |
   +----------+

(注意：产品可以有多个图像,但品牌/类别最多只能有一个)

在ASP.NET中,

using (DBEntities db = new DBEntities()) 
   {
         Product product = db.Products.FirstOrDefault(p => p.ProductID == 1);
         if (product != null) product.Desc = "any value";
         db.SaveChanges(); //works


         Image image = db.Images.FirstOrDefault(i => i.ImageID == 1);
         if (image != null) image.Path = "any value";
         db.SaveChanges(); //works

         Brand brand = db.Brands.FirstOrDefault(b => b.BrandID == 1);
         if (brand != null) brand.Desc = "the same value as the old description";
         db.SaveChanges();  //works

         Brand brand = db.Brands.FirstOrDefault(b => b.BrandID == 1);
         if (brand != null) brand.Desc = "some new description";
         db.SaveChanges();  //throws null reference exception

         Category categ = db.Categories.FirstOrDefault(c => c.CategoryID == 1);
         if (categ != null) categ.Desc = "the same value as the old description";
         db.SaveChanges();  //works

         Category categ = db.Categories.FirstOrDefault(c => c.CategoryID == 1);
         if (categ != null) categ.Desc = "some new description";
         db.SaveChanges();  //throws null reference exception
   }

这很奇怪！

这是SaveChanges()抛出的NullReferenceException的堆栈跟踪

PS：这是实体框架5

解决方法

正如divega指出的那样,问题在于我有一个与EF生成的实体同名的类(包括类别和品牌).请参阅此文章 NullReferenceException in DbContext.saveChanges()
