I’m following this tutorial Creating Master-Details Windows Forms with the Entity Framework
but the db.Savechanges() isn’t working if I modified some column or add a new row. According to this video tutorial it will work but it doesn’t.

Product_Form.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace RemoteSynchronizer
{
    public partial class Product : Form
    {

        ProductsEntities db = new ProductsEntities();
        public Product()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Product_Form_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            product_DBindingSource.DataSource = db.Product_D.ToList();
        }

        private void bindingNavigatorAddNewItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        private void product_DBindingNavigatorSaveItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // Product_D obj = new Product_D();
            // obj.PCode = pCodeTextBox.Text;
            // obj.Name = nameTextBox.Text;
            // obj.Batch = batchTextBox.Text;
            // obj.Expiry = expiryTextBox.Text;
            // obj.Price = priceTextBox.Text;

            //try
            // {
            //     Product_D temp = db.Product_D.Single(t => t.PCode == pCodeTextBox.Text);

            //     MessageBox.Show("Product Exists");
            // }
            // catch 
            // {
            //     db.Product_D.Add(obj);
                 db.SaveChanges();

             //}

        }

        private void bindingNavigatorDeleteItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

    }
}

When I try to use comment method in code it gives an error

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

How to get rid of this problem? I’m trying to solve this by simple method db.savechanges() but it won’t work.

    Unable to update the EntitySet because it has a DefiningQuery and no element exists in the element to support the current operation.

    Make sure that your table has a primary key !

    If not add the primary key and update the Entity Framework model and run again.
