            {
                Questions question = new Questions();
                question.que_title = questionTitle;
                question.que_question_text = questionText;
                question.que_number_of_views = 0;
                question.que_is_anonymous = isAnonymous;
                question.que_last_activity_datetime = DateTime.Now;
                question.que_timestamp = DateTime.Now;
                question.CategoriesReference.Value = Categories.CreateCategories(categoryId);
                question.UsersReference.Value =  Users.CreateUsers(userId);
                entities.AddToQuestions(question);
                entities.SaveChanges();

                return question.que_id;
            }

Answer 1

You should use something like

question.UsersReference.EntityKey =  new EntityKey("MyEntities.Users",
    "ID", userId);

You don't have to have User object to set up foreign key, just use ID.
