Question

I have this code where all objects are created by Entity Framework 4.1:

public void UpdateCustomer(int CustomerID, IList<Order> CustomerOrders)
  {
     foreach (var OrderItem in CustomerOrders)
      {
        Customer.Order = OrderItem;
      }

  }

When I try to assign OrderItem to Customer.Order, I receive the following error:

Error 15 Cannot implicitly convert type ‘Order’ to ‘System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EntityCollection’

What am I doing wrong here, and how can this be fixed?

Answer 1

You should assign collection of orders not an order

foreach (var OrderItem in CustomerOrders)
    Customer.Order.Add(OrderItem);
