Can anyone help? I have been using the entity framework and its going well 🙂

But i have just added a new record using an entity class like so

this._entities.AddToUsers(user);

The AddTo is created automatically .. and users is my table… All great but how do i return the identity column?

The sounds like just what i need instead of calling a stored procedure, I did have a stored procedure before –

I suppose i can continue using the stored procedure but this means i have to convert my User entity class to Sql parameters.

I am using EFExtensions.

And once added do i need to call SaveChanges or something?

Any ideas ??

Thanks

    Yes, AddToUsers only adds your object into the in-memory entity context – it isn’t saved on disk just yet, and thus your new identity value hasn’t been assigned yet.

    Only calling .SaveChanges() will actually write the changes to the database – and then and only then, the identity value (if your field is of type INT IDENTITY) will get generated.
