Question

Hey
I want to copy data from one entity to another.
I have something like this :

  MyEntity newEntity = new Entity()
  newEntity.Property1 = oldEntity.Property1 ....

Is there easier way to do this? I have many properties and I would like to write something like newEntity = oldEntity, but this is impossible because of primary key duplication

Answer 1

you can use code like this:

EntityObject newObject = oldObject;

context.Detach(newObject);
newObject.Id = 0;

context.Entity.AddObject(newObject);
context.SaveChanges();

Hope it helps 🙂
