Question

Getting an error caught in UpdateModel

“Setting the Id property is only supported with .NET 3.5+ during entity deserialization” System.Exception {System.NotSupportedException}

public ActionResult Edit1(Guid id, ActivityResponseConsumerMobile arcm) {
        if (!ModelState.IsValid) {
            SetupDropDowns();
            return View(arcm);
        }

        ActivityResponseConsumerMobile arcmDb = uow.ActivityResponseConsumerMobiles.Single(a => a.Id == id);
        try {
            UpdateModel(arcmDb);
        }
        catch {
            var x = ModelState;
            return View(arcm);
        }

Feels like SO Question: MVC2 throws InvalidOperationException in UpdateModel(), trying to update the id field

but I’m using the object instead of FormCollection. ORM I’m using is LightSpeed.

Looking good so far with putting in an exclusion..

UpdateModel(arcmDb, null, null, new[] {"Id"});

It turns out this is not an MVC issue as I had the same issue using AutoMapper elsewhere in the app, and had to exclude the ID there too.

   Mapper.CreateMap<ActivityPushConsumerMobile, ActivityPushConsumerMobile>()
                              .ForMember(dest => dest.EntityState, opt => opt.Ignore())
                              .ForMember(x => x.Id, y => y.Ignore())

Unsure as to what has changed since it worked. Possible upgrade from LightSpeed3 to 4. And am using .NET4 framework.
