Question

After running the code bellow, the item.Name still says “New Item”.

what is wrong here?

item.Name = "Updated Item";

items.Update(item);

public void Update(Item item)
    {
        using (var context = new wirvar_masterEntities())
        {
            var key = new EntityKey("wirvar_masterEntities.Items", "ID", item.ID);

            var itemToUpdate = (Item)context.GetObjectByKey(key);

            if (itemToUpdate == null) return;
            itemToUpdate = item;

            context.SaveChanges();
        }
    }

Answer 1

To do this, try the ApplyCurrentValues method on the object context after doing your GetObjectKey. Then all the values should update.
