Introducing FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_DocCartables_Cartables_Cartable_CartableId' 
on table 'DocCartables' may cause cycles or multiple cascade paths. Specify 
ON DELETE NO ACTION or ON UPDATE NO ACTION, or modify other FOREIGN KEY constraints.
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.

public int? UserProfileId { set; get; }

The referential relationship will result in a cyclical reference that is not allowed. [ Constraint name =  ]
