OK, i have confirmed i only this issue when i attempt to query on the primary key if that primary key in the entity is set to ‘Auto Generated Value’ — but w/o this, how can i insert? Sorry if this is a noob linq2sql but i just started working with it.

How does one go about using Linq to Sql with this option turned off but also have the db handle the pk’s? I would hate to have to qry everytime to get the pk i should assign…

I hope someone can help me out, im completely unable to use linq to sql in one of my projects, not really sure what to do… here is an example, this line throws a StackOverflow exception.

MyDataContext dc = new MyDataContext(ConnStr);
var obj = dc.MyDataTable.AsQueryable().SingleOrDefault(a => a.pkID == 4);

— That second line throws the StackOverflow exception.

Heres another example using the same datacontext

var o = dc.MyDataTable.Take(1); <-- works fine
var abc = o.ToArray();  <-- unable to evaluate, debugger stops

Any ideas what i can try? I seem to be fine using linq to sql in another project in the same solution.

— UPDATE–
I forgot to mention that this particular entity ‘MyDataTable’ has the pk set as ‘Auto Generated Value’ — i have it set to this cause i have sql doing auto increment and this is the identity column.

    How is pkID implemented? Any chance it’s recursive in some way?
