Entity Framework throws exception: index was outside of array

I have tried my best to have a foreign key to the AspNetUsers table.

I renamed the table in Users

in my SQL Server database to clarify. I have a foreign key on my table Tutorial

in a table Users

. Here's my EF model class for the table Tutorial

:

public class Tutorial
{
    [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
    public int TutorialID { get; set; }

    [Required]
    public string TutorialTitle { get; set; }

    [Required]
    public string Description { get; set; }

    [Required]
    public string TutorialUrl { get; set; }

    public string TutorialContent { get; set; }
    public string UserId { get; set; }

    public virtual AppUser User { get; set; } // this on is IdentityUser actually

    public DateTime? Published { get; set; }
    public bool HasBeenAcceptedForPublish { get; set; }
    public string AdminMessageForNotPublishing { get; set; }

    [Required]
    public virtual TutorialStatus TutorialStatus { get; set; }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

So, after updating the database, whenever I save a new one Tutorial

to EF, it throws an error:

The index was outside the array

I am guessing there is something wrong with the foreign key in the table Users

. This is the object AppUser

that is associated with. I'm going to throw a script here for the table Tutorial

in case anyone might make sense what is throwing this exception / error.

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Tutorials] 
(
    [TutorialID] INT IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
    [TutorialTitle] NVARCHAR (MAX) NOT NULL,
    [Description] NVARCHAR (MAX) NOT NULL,
    [TutorialUrl] NVARCHAR (MAX) NOT NULL,
    [TutorialContent] NVARCHAR (MAX) NULL,
    [Published] DATETIME NULL,
    [HasBeenAcceptedForPublish] BIT NOT NULL,
    [AdminMessageForNotPublishing] NVARCHAR (MAX) NULL,
    [TutorialStatus_TutorialStatusID] INT NOT NULL,
    [UserId] NVARCHAR (128) NULL,

    CONSTRAINT [PK_dbo.Tutorials] 
       PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([TutorialID] ASC),
    CONSTRAINT [FK_dbo.Tutorials_dbo.TutorialStatus_TutorialStatusID] 
       FOREIGN KEY ([TutorialStatus_TutorialStatusID]) 
       REFERENCES [dbo].[TutorialStatus] ([TutorialStatusID]) 
       ON DELETE CASCADE,
    CONSTRAINT [FK_dbo.Tutorials_dbo.Users_Id] 
       FOREIGN KEY ([UserId]) 
       REFERENCES [dbo].[Users] ([Id])
);
GO

CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_TutorialStatus_TutorialStatusID]
ON [dbo].[Tutorials]([TutorialStatus_TutorialStatusID] ASC);
GO

CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_UserId]
ON [dbo].[Tutorials]([UserId] ASC); 

      

        
        
        
      

    

UPDATE:

Here is the code that creates a new tutorial and tries to save it to the database.

public Tutorial CreateNewTutorial(string TutorialTitle, string Description, string content, AppUser user, out bool success)
{
    try
    {
        string tutorialurl = null;
        tutorialurl = TutorialTitle.Replace(" ", "-");
        Tutorial tutorial = new Tutorial();

        TutorialStatus status = new TutorialStatus();
        status.ViewCount = 1;
        status.ReputationPoints = 0;
        status.FavouritedCount = 0;

        context.TutorialStatus.Add(status);
        context.SaveChanges();

        tutorial.TutorialTitle = TutorialTitle;
        tutorial.Description = Description;
        tutorial.TutorialUrl = tutorialurl;
        tutorial.User = user;
        tutorial.UserId = user.Id;
        tutorial.Published = null;
        //tutorial.TutorialStatusID = status.TutorialStatusID;
        tutorial.TutorialContent = content;

        context.Tutorials.Add(tutorial);
        context.SaveChanges();

        success = true;
        return tutorial;
    }
    catch
    {
        success = false;
        return null;
    }
}
