Question

I have simple method to update user rating:

        public void PostScore(int userId, GlobalSettings gs, string name)
    {
        User user = _usrRepo.GetById(userId);
        if (name == "up")
        {
            user.Rating = user.Rating + gs.ScoreForLike;
        }
        else if (name == "down")
        {
            user.Rating = user.Rating - Math.Abs(gs.ScoreForDislike);
        }
        _ctx.SaveChanges();
    }

The problem is, that user rating do not update.. I mean the changes are not saved to database.
Is there way to debug what’s going and and why EF4.1 do not save data to database ?

It looks like your are getting your User object through a repository (_usrRepo) that is using a different context than the one you are are calling SaveChanges() on (_ctx) – I bet this is your problem.
