Hi,

I sometimes need to use EntityClasses as dumb objects. However when I assign a property on a member object the property does not reflect this.

Here is an example of my problem:

This works:

PersonEntity person = new PersonEntity();
person.Name = "llbl";  
string test1 = person.Name;

test1 is "llbl"

This does not work:

PersonEntity person = new PersonEntity();
person.Car.Name = "ford" 
string test2 = person.Car.Nickname;  

test2 is empty

Regards,

Rasmus Oudal Edberg

person.Car.Name = "ford" string test2 = person.Car.Nickname;

why would Nickname all of a sudden have a value?

Sorry it should have been

person.Car.Name = "ford"
string test2 = person.Car.Name; 

Well, what's likely the case is that 'car' is fetched using lazy loading and because the parent entity, person, is not fetched, car will not be found in the db because the PK is not set in person. This means that you'll get a new entity for car, every time you access it.

To overcome this: PersonEntity person = new PersonEntity(); person.Car = new CarEntity(); person.Car.Name = "ford";
