It seems that sqlserver timestamp datatype is handled as a readonly property in an entity.

I am persisting an entity.currencyTS in viewstate of webpage and then right before saving with concurrency handling I am needing to stuff the old value in my new instance of entity, so to use save overload for predicate.

Is there a lower level command to set timestamp to old value for the concurrency comparison that I am needing here?

Thanks,

Yes, myEntity.Fields(index).ForcedCurrentValueWrite(value)

it's read-only because the field is generated by sqlserver.
