Hi,

in Entity Framework in VS2010 (in a C# project) how do I configure a new association in the Mapping Details pane? I don't quite get the Mapping Panel, in particular when you click on one of the Navigation Properties in a table.

Once I've added the association between two tables, I can see it visually as a line between the tables, and I see the navigation property in each of the tables, then how am I supposed to customise in the Mapping Panel which columns in each table are supposed to be used?

Also what I actually need to do as a 2nd step is put in a 2nd association between the same tables as I have a NODES (with an ID) table and a RELATIONSHIPS table (with ParentID & ChildID), so hopefully EF designer can handle this.

thanks
