Is it possible to Attach objects to contexts?

context.EntryEntities.Attach(entity, true);

??

Yes, this method is supported.

how is the correct call? to detach and attach it? do you have a small example?

Here is a simple code example:

Code: Select all

   private void MainMethod () {
      Customer c = getFirst();
      c.Name = "Test";
      DataContext1.DataContext1 context = new DataContext1.DataContext1();
      context.Customers.Attach(c, true);
      context.SubmitChanges();
    }
    private Customer getFirst () {
      using (DataContext1.DataContext1 context = new DataContext1.DataContext1()) 
      {
        Customer c = db.Customers.First();
        return c;
      }
    }

Please note that the Customer object has a version field with a trigger on insert and update actions,
setting the version value to current timestamp.

doesn't work in my case:

i got following error:

An entity can only be attached as modified without original state if it declares a version member or does not have an update check policy.

What do you suggest?

As I have already mentioned, the entity should have a Version member.
Please set the IsVersion property to true for the property you wish to use as version in Entity Developer.
Please don't forget the database triggers on insert and update actions.

While editing the model in Entity Developer, just select the property you plan to mark as version member,
go to the Properties window and set IsVersion to true.
