I want to update database using entity framework by passing class object in one go with setting without setting object values again.
I have added data using following code
[code]....
here obj is class object which i have passed to the AddTotblTables() method
similary i want to update table in same manner by passing class object.
I'm working on a new project where I have the luxury of working from a Model to Database approach using Entity Framework 4.
The project I'm working on is taking an agile approach where different phases will be rolled out over time.
Will the Model First approach work in my case? I noticed when you "Generate Database from Model" it recreates the entire schema from scratch which will obviously wipe all the data that is in the db. I was hoping for a more "Update Database from Model" approach where the db would just be altered to reflect the changes rather than recreated
I created two stored procedures in SQL Server Management Studio.
First procedure add field in ProjcetsToUsers table (for many-to-many associations)
[code]....
I can delete the user from the project and then add another, and the new one is added but removed the remains.
As for data base both this function work correctly.
I have an EDM, it includes the entities extension and history. My goal is to use history to keep track of all the changes made to extension entity. For example, if extension with ID 223 has its property 'Name_Display' changed - I want the history entity to record this.
I'm using ASP.NET with VB.NET. Where in my code do I put the hook to say, "update the history entity" and what should that hook look like?
I am mapping a stored procedure to an entity by right clicking on the entity (in the .edmx) and selecting "Stored Procedure Mapping." This brings you to a Mapping Details - "Name of Entity" Window that allows you to select the insert, update, and delete stored procedures associated with the Entity. It also maps the stored procedure parameter to the Entity "Property" (Column).
I'm gettin an error "error 2042: Parameter Mapping specified is not valid." The cause of the error is fairly obvious, in the Insert stored procedure that has been selected, a 'CHAR' parameter is being mapped to an Int32 Entity Property. I altered the stored procedure parameter to match the entity, I deleted the stored procedure, readded, and reslected it as the Insert function. I also cleaned, validated, updated model from database. No matter what I do, the parameter list in the mapping details doesn't reflect the change to the stored procedure. It's stuck on a char --> int32 mapping, even though it has been changed, like it's buried deep in meta data some where.
I'm writing a custom .NET MembershipProvider (not the built in one) and trying to update using Entity Framework. But of course i have no access to (Try)UpdateModel. How can i update it?
View 3 RepliesI have been updating my Entity Framework by simply right clicking and clicking on "update model from database". I usually go under the "Add" tab and then click the tables and click finish. I also use "refresh" sometimes as well. What are the differences between these? and also when I do refresh or add sometimes the entity comes out wrong or keeps some of the old information in cache, how can I just get the entity to match my database and clean out any of the old cached things.
View 3 RepliesI have a few entities I'd like to update at the same time. However I'd like to write individual update methods in each classes partial class file, for each entity and call them all at the same time. For example:
public sub UpdateEntity1()
...
end sub
public sub UpdateEntity2()
...
end sub
public sub UpdateEntity3()
...
end sub
public sub UpdateAll()
UpdateEntity1()
UpdateEntity2()
UpdateEntity3()
end sub
My question is how do I manage the object context? do I create one object context in the class I'm calling UpdateAll(), then pass it as a parameter to each individual update method? Or do I create a new context for each Update? I'd like to use the same context because the object are related, and this would decrease the db calls to update all the records.
Quite a common use case, it seems, is when re-populating an object from a form is to go
myobj.Name = "textbox value";
myobj.Content = "textbox content";
But, name may not have changed, it may only be a change to the content textbox.
The problem is that entity framework treats Name as changed just because I've set it's value, regardless of whether I've set exactly the same value or not.
Ideally, I would like EF to only mark things as changed if they genuinely have changed.
How should I solve simulation update, when one user updates already updated entery by another user?
First user request 'Category' entityobject, second user does the same. Second user updates this object and first user updates. I have field timestamp field in database that wa set to Concurrency Mode - Fixed.
This is how I update:

Exception never jumps...How should I handle this?
How do I use a stored procedure to change one or more (but not all) fields of a entity in EF4? I have a stored procedure "ChangePassword" taking a username and and a password as parameters and a User entity containing properties for Username and Password as well as other properties. I want to be able to use this stored procedure from a function to update the password from a function in one of my repositories. How to do this?
View 4 RepliesI have read some articles about the new enitity framework and I think it looks very cool from a development perspective.
considering a production environment loaded with data. How does one apply changes to the model? You cannot regenerate the model and in most large organizations, database changes are executed by DBS's and not developers. In such situaitons, it is the role of the developer to develop delta-scripts that the dba can execute.
My experiense with Hibernate (Java) and the like is that you have to pay double when using such frameworks.
I have a webservice which of course has to be .net 3.5 (a side note is does anyone know why you can't create a webservice using .net 4.0?).
Anyhow it is using entity framework, which I have recently discovered was a really bad mistake to try to use this in .net 3.5.
I have a table "Licenses" with the following columns: LicenseKey, ProductCode, OrderID, Seq, UserName.
In my asp.net 4.0 application I can simply do the following to perform an update:
[Code]....
But it appears there is no ExecuteStoreCommand in .net 3.5 with entity framework. Can anyone explain to me how to accomplish the same thing? The thing I need to point out is that because this is a multi-user access service. I need to verify that SQL will only update the given record where OrderID and Seq is what I tell it ONLY if the UserName is already null. So if two users process the same statement at the same time only one would work and the other would not because the sql should fail (or return 0, rather than a 1) for the second one.

I've pulling back an entity object from a database and I need to update the date to the DB server's date/time - usually you could accomplish this by setting it with the SQL getDate() function.
How can I accomplish this in the following scenario:
var client = context.client.Where(c=>c.clientID == 1).FirstOrDefault();
// the value needs to be the value of the server's current date, i.e, getDate()... not DateTime.Now
client.someDate = <somevalue>;
context.SaveChanges();
I have a table in my database with a one to many relationship to another table, which has a relationship to a third table:
[Code].....
This seems to work fine. My question to you good folks: Is there a correct way to do this? I tried following the making a custom model binder per the blog link I posted above but it didn't work (there was an issue with reflection, the code expected certain properties to exist) and I needed to get something going ASAP. PS - I tried to cleanup the code to hide specific information, so beware I may have hosed something up.
How can i insert,update and delete records using entity framework data model.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to export a EF 4.0 Data Model to EF 3.5?
I looked around and found that we are not able to access EF 4.0 from a ASP.Net 3.5 project here: [URL]
Our project is the 1st to go to .Net 4.0 using Entity Framework and we (the team) were wondering if there was a way for the other projects that "might" need to access our data that are still using the .Net 3.5 framework.

We have an IVR product that reads a configuration database for callflow information. I am writing a tool for our implementation team that will allow them to add/delete/update the data in the configuration database. Once the tool is in production, the implementer will use only the production release of the tool to modify the configuration database in all four of the IVR regions (Dev, QA, Cert, and Prod). Each region has its own database with identical schemas. The tool has 'tabs' across the top for each region. If a user is currently working in the Dev region and clicks the QA tab, how do I switch my connection from the Dev db server to the QA db server?
View 3 RepliesAll I am trying to do is to make an update to an existing User and then save the changes to the database. I fooled around with different options and can see that I can make the change to the context during Page_Load, but it does not commit the changes to the Database.
