I have read several questions on this already, but I have tried their solution (basically the same with each questions) without success.
I have created a model and used it to update a local database (.sdf) file. Now, I’m trying to add even a single entity and it fails. Meaning that it won’t even save any entity. I have set the identity field for my PKs, configured the StoredGeneratedPattern properties, looked at manually setting it directly in the XML (it’s there). I still can’t save anything. What am I missing?
The entity relation model
The model XML config (TestDbEntities.edmx)

InnerException:
Is this the only solution? Manually generating identities (even if they are supposed to be auto incremented by the database)?
Upgrade the SQL Compact Edition to Version 4 and will auto increment the id.
