Is there an easy way to take all the Entities in a Collection that was loaded from the DB, change their status to 'new'. Then when I call Save() on the collection, have them inserted as new records?

The PK is a composite key, so I would change one of the PK values before saving.

Entities can be inserted rather than updated if their IsNew field is set to true. To accomplish this try any of the following: - Manually set each entity's IsNew field to true. - Projecting the EntityCollection.DefaultView to a new EntityCollection.
