c# - Store list of pairs in one table EF -

i used following class:

public class point {     [required]     public double x { get; set; }     [required]     public double y { get; set; } } 

and model containing:

public list<point> vertices { get; set; } 

but ef tries create separate table based on message :

entitytype 'point' has no key defined. define key entitytype.

i'll have large number of points related model , think it's not optimal solution have separate table. is there way embed point array inside table or thinking wrong?

highly appreciate time. thanks.

the following should work - not sure if recommend approach (as think table point ok) having said did seem work me. use verticedatatext store point data in string, stored in db:

public class vertice {     public int verticeid { get; set; }      [notmapped]     public point[] data     {                 {             string[] rawinternaldata = this.verticedatatext.split(';');             point[] dataresult = new point[rawinternaldata.length / 2];             int count = 0;             rawinternaldata.tolist().foreach(p =>             {                 var pairarray = p.split(',');                 dataresult[count++] = new point { x = double.parse(pairarray[0]), y = double.parse(pairarray[1])};             });             return dataresult;         }         set         {             stringbuilder sb = new stringbuilder();             value.tolist().foreach(p => sb.appendformat("{0},{1};", p.x, p.y));             this.verticedatatext = sb.tostring();         }     }      public string verticedatatext { get; set; } }
