    I've created my pocos , the EF is correctly creating my mapping table. In one to many relationships the entity has a property for its one to many collections - So why, oh why, doesn't the entity with a many to many relationships create a property on the many to many entity that allows me to see the mappings. And more to the point how am i supposed to insert new mappings in.

        public class CategoryDto
    {
        [Key]
        Guid CategoryId { get; set; }

        public List<ProductDto> Products { get; set; }
  
        public List<CategoryItemDto> CategoryItems { get; set; }
    }

    public class  CategoryItemDto
    {
        [Key]
        public Guid CategoryItemDtoId{get;set;}
  
        Guid CategoryId { get; set; }

    }

    public class ProductDto
    {
        [Key]
        Guid ProductId { get; set; }

        public List<CatagoryDto> Categories { get; set; }

    }

    //
    // This is auto generated code 
    //
    public class CategoryDtoEntity  :  Entity
    {
        Guid CategoryId { get; set; }

        public EntityCollection<CategoryItemDto> CategoryItemDtos  {get;set;}

        // where is the many to many collection & likewise where is its 
        // corresponding Property on the Producs table?
        // public EntityCollection<ProductDto> Categories { get; set; }
  
    }

    Thanks in advance,

    Yours(really getting cheesed off ;))
