Hey

I need to be able to load an entity, change some data and save the entity with a new PK. Using SelfServicing

Is their any method to do this quickly.

I tried setting the Isnew field to true, but that just erased all fields. (or the fields dont get saved because some property says it hasn't changed?)

What i have done instead is to loop trough every field set them on a new entity, change PK and Save the entity

My current code, which works:

      AdminSiteEntity entityToCopy = new AdminSiteEntity(40001);

      AdminSiteEntity entityNew = new AdminSiteEntity();

      foreach( IEntityFieldCore entityFieldCore in entityToCopy.Fields.GetAsEntityFieldCoreArray()){
        if (!entityFieldCore.IsNull)
          entityNew.SetNewFieldValue( entityFieldCore.FieldIndex, entityToCopy.GetCurrentFieldValue(entityFieldCore.FieldIndex));
      }

      entityNew.SiteGuid = 40004;
      entityNew.Save();

Here's a post that gives you a little background on the issue and around the last post you will see a way to change the PK.

Think you forgot the url...

Let me try to find the post instead, just a sec. (edit) Brian might have meant this one: http://www.llblgen.com/tinyforum/Messages.aspx?ThreadID=2676

But I'm not sure, I'll ask him later today so he can update his post

Thanks for the link, my code is now changed (still just testcode) and it works.

Although i didn't find an enumerator for entity.Fields so made and for-loop and field.CurrentValue don't return null if the field is null, so changed that to check property field.IsNull instead.

      AdminSitesEntity entity= new AdminSitesEntity(40001);

      entity.IsNew = true;
      entity.Fields.State = EntityState.New;
      entity.IsDirty = true;
      for(int i = 0; i< entity.Fields.Count; i++){
        entity.Fields[i].IsChanged =( ! entity.Fields[i].IsNull  );
      }
      entity.SiteGuid = 40005;
      entity.Save();
