DataSource Controls :: Best Way To Handle Inserts For Entities When Using FormViews And Entity Framework 4?
Mar 3, 2010
I am trying to get some guidance with this issue:
I have a Customer object that has two address ID fields (one for HomeAddress and one for WorkAddress)
I am loading the Address Objects by using Include="HomeAddress, WorkAddress" and then binding to the properties using the Navigation Property on the Customer Entity
Can I use just one FormView for doing the Insert/Updates and binding it to an EntityDataSource or would I have to do all the Inserting/Updating manually?

I use the ObjectDataSource in an ASP.NET Application.
Using the ASPxGridView. When Updating it goes back to the Data Access Layer and tries to update the Entity, now as I can see while having some properites (Columns, Visible = false) when the entity arrives in the update method the visible = false columns have no values.
I don't want to show all the columns...what if I need 3 of the 30 columns? So I thought I would get the original entity from the context and merge the differences from the updated entity.

I have a Consumer class and a BillableConsumer : Consumer class. When trying to do any operation on my "Consumers" set, I get the error message "Object mapping could not be found for Type with identity Models.BillableConsumer.
From the CSDL:
[code]....
Is this because I did not specifically add the BillableConsumer entity to the object set? How do I do that in a POCO scenario?

Due to the way the database was designed, in my model I have a User entity. The Contact entity inherits from the user entity, and the Profile entity inherits from the Contact entity.
How can I get a list of Profiles, and, how do I create a Profile?

let us assume that I have a reusable business layer that further makes use of a data access layer that was implemented using Entity Framework 4.0. The entities returned/consumed by the business layer are self-tracking, allowing us all the goodies that come with those type of entities. I would like to be able to store the entities I work with across post backs (on order to avoid re-querying every time). Basically let us assume I have a paged GridView with 10 items in it, and something like a DetailsView to edit those items. Every time you select a new row on the grid, the details view updates with the information of the selected row. My preference would be to only query for the entities on the initial request of the page and store it in session. Then subsequently I have a list of entities that I can work with and eventually modify and send back to the business layer with all of the changes.
I really want to use session instead of view state to reduce the page payload (self tracking entities are heavy) however I really like view state for this because of the fact that when the user navigates away from the page there is no residual effect. Some of the things that worry me are: When a user navigates away from the page to another page, the entities from the previous page are still in session. I could always do something on load of a page to do housekeeping type of work. Not sure if that's good practice. I am worried about people opening browser tabs and having two views into the same page, it seems like that might pose a problem. Is this even a good approach? Seems like I am trying to have the best of all worlds, it would definitely be much easier to simply re-query on every post back for the entities and pay the 50-100ms hit of the database trip.

I have a model that consists of Order, OrderLine, Product.
I want to create an Order and add OrderLines (each OrderLine related to a Product). I create the Order and add new OrderLines to it. Between posts I store the Order entity in Session (or ViewState). Just so you know I have added suppport for binary serialisation which works fine.
The relationship is therefore Order > OrderLine(s) > Product(s).
You might have already guessed what the problem is - that when I SaveChanges() I get the usual 'AcceptChanges cannot continue because the object's key values conflict with another object in the ObjectStateManager.' error.
I have referred to a number of articles online but none seem to handle this case (where I have the relationship across more than two entities) e.g. [URL].
This must be a very common requirement surely? Is there anyone out there doing the same kind of thing with Entity Framework (and without using DTOs etc)?

Using a very run-of-the-mill database, with identity int for primary keys, a Dynamic Data Entities Project (EntityFramework) displays the primary key for view and edit. When using Linq to Sql, the primary key fields are not displayed.
I would like to hide the primary keys and use Entity Framework (VS 2008, .Net 3.5 sp1).

As for data base both this function work correctly.

I have the following problem:- I have a Settings table which has a value column, that is incremented everytime a Job is created (I use Entity framework to add the job and to update the value increment). So, I have something like this:
[Code]....
The problem is: I have a asp.net with concurrent calls to SaveJob Method. In this code, the value is shared, and if I call SaveJob 5 times for instance, the value column is 3, because the scope is not "locking" the other transactions until It's done, and the value is shared. I want to have the following scenario: Call SaveJob 5 times;Value column in Settings table is 5;Call SaveJob 3 more times;Value Column in Settings table is 8. I tried to implement something like pessimistic concurrency in EF, but I had no success. Whats the best way to handle that without using SQL Server queries directly? (like 'lock' and 'unlock' etc)

how to handle foreign keys with Entity Framework, when editing or adding a new record. For example, I have a person table, which has a timezone_id linking to my timezone table.
But the model seems to not include timezone_id. I see it's a new way of doing things, but ... how do I store my record?
My method:
[code]...
I can't do u.timezone_id = timezoneid;
I only have u.timezone (which seems to be the actual entity), and u.timezoneReference, which I am not sure what to do with.

if Entity Framework 4.0 handles simple transactions automatically?
If I am only making changes to the ObjectContext, and use ObjectContext.SaveChanges(), does EF 4.0 take care of the transaction behind the scenes?
In other words, if I perform a few inserts, updates, and deletes on several different Entities and one of the fails, is everything rolled back?

I set up Entity Framework for my Table and Stored Procedure to return data. Created a Domain Class as well.
In Domain Class, I am returning Objects as collection.
On .Aspnet page when I drop a Control(Combo,Dropdown) I can set up the source for the controls visually if the source is table.
However, In domain class I have stored precedure object that return collection of data And I cant not set up visually from Designer, I am only available to write code behind. is it possibble that i can set up from desingner.

I have a sql server database that includes the field ArticleID of type uniqueidentifier that is a primary key and is set to be auto-generated by the database when a new article is added.If i generate my entity model and do the following code:
[Code]....
Then a new article is saved to the database but the entity framework must be generating a new blank Guid and saving that to the database rather than allowing it to be auto generated as the articleid that shows up saved is all 0.How can i get the Entity Framework to let the Database generate the ArticleId?

I have 3 tables User, role and UserInRole THe entity frame work made entities for User and Role and I have successfully made a join with the user and role entities using user.add(role); but I can't seem to get it to remove the link (I want to retain the user and role just remove their association).
using (ProviderEntities context = new ProviderEntities())
{
User u = context.User
.Where(n => n.ApplicationName == application)
.Where(n => n.Username == username).First();
Roles r = context.Roles
.Where(n => n.ApplicationName == application)
.Where(n => n.RoleName == roleName)
.First();
r.User.Remove(u);
context.SaveChanges();
}
The oposite worked when I did r.User.Add(u); but it wont let me now remove it after it been created. Driving me mad as I can't see where I have gone wrong.

I transfered my data from MDF files to MS SQL Database, but I can't get it working with entity framework.
My Old connection string is:
metadata=res://*/Models.EntityModel.csdl|res://*/Models.EntityModel.ssdl|res://*/Models.EntityModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|TripsDB.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User
Instance=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True"
I put all data from TripsDB.mdf to Trips table in local MS SQL 2008 Enterprise database. Also changed connection string to:
Server=WIESIEK;Database=Trips;Trusted_Connection=True;providerName=System.Data.SqlClient;User ID=Jan J. Roman
But my application throws System.ArgumentExceptio with message: The 'server' keyword is not supported.
on line:
private TripsDBEntities2 _entity = new TripsDBEntities2();where TripsDBEntities2 is Entity Framework instance.

CarType
Id - PK
Name
CarDetail
Id - PK
TypeId - FK to CarType
I have this simple example here and I want to insert a new CarDetail into the database but for some reason I cannot get the EntityKey to work in EF4 and Framework4 beta 2.
If i declare the following
car_detail.CarTypeReference.EntityKey = new System.Data.EntityKey("MyDB.CarType", "Id", 1)
Each time i try to call SaveChanges, it throws a INSERT constraint error saying that there is a conflict between CarType and CarDetail with the FK. It just seems like the hard coded 1 for CarType is NOT being passed through but instead the default value of 0. What is going on?
If i call car_detail.TypeId = 1 then it works fine with the INSERT.
Why doesn't the EntityKey method work?
