Hi there,

How do I force an entity's property to be dirty even if I set it to the same as its inital value?

So I have property of type bool and I went to update its value in the database to false but the property's initial value is false so if I set it to false the update won't be done.

Cheers, I.

Try something like this

EmployeeEntity employee = new EmployeeEntity(5);
employee.Fields["Active"].IsChanged = true;
employee.Active = false;
employee.Save();

That doesn't seem to work.

Oh, it didn't need

employee.Fields["Active"].IsChanged = true;

or

employee.Fields.IsDirty=true; 

.

Sorry, problems with viewstate!
