  25.   
  26.             modelBuilder.Entity<EmployeeDetails>()  
  27.                 .HasKey(pk => pk.EmpId)  
  28.                 .ToTable("Employees");  
  29.   
  30.             modelBuilder.Entity<Employee>()  
  31.                 .HasRequired(p => p.EmployeeDetails)  
  32.                 .WithRequiredPrincipal(c => c.Employee);  
  33.   
  34.             base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);  
  35.         }  
  36.     }  
  37. }  

Web.config

  1. <connectionStrings>  
  2.   <add name="EmployeeConn"  
  3.   connectionString="Data Source=WIN-B4KJ8JI75VF;Initial Catalog=EmployeeDB;Integrated Security=true"  
  4.   providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>  
  5. </connectionStrings>  

Program.cs

  1. using System;  
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;  
  3. using System.Linq;

  5. using System.Threading.Tasks;  
  6.   
  7. namespace Table_Splitting_Update_Data_CFA  
  8. {  
  9.     class Program  
  10.     {  
  11.         static void Main(string[] args)  
  12.         {  
  13.             EmployeeContext empContext = new EmployeeContext();  
  14.             int empId = 1;  
  15.             var emp = empContext.Employees.Include("EmployeeDetails").Where(a => a.EmpId.Equals(empId)).SingleOrDefault();  
  16.             emp.FirstName = "Jonny";  
  17.             emp.EmployeeDetails.Email = "[email protected]";  
  18.             empContext.SaveChanges();  
  19.         }  
  20.     }  
  21. }  

The output of this application is as in the following.
