With following code,I have identity_insert turned on to be able to insert some value explicitly:
SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.myTable ON
Go
the identity insert is set to be primary key and not null
in my c# program,when i want to insert a value,this error is generated:
IDENTITY_INSERT is turned off
but i have turned it on
what’s the problem and how to solve it?
thank you
The
IDENTITY_INSERTsetting only works in the current SQL session, e.g. you cannot turn it on on a given table in SQL Server Management Studio and then run your C# code against it and expect it to work.What you need to do is have that
SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.myTable ONstatement be part of your C# app – first, set the setting to ON in your command, then do whatever you need to do from your C# app, and in the end, turn off that setting, again, from your C# code.
