Hi,

I have been searching on the forum, and although it is probably there, I couldn't find the solution to this problem:

I have a page where i create a project. On this project I am adding related data. For example: Budget:

This Buget contains ProjectID, Year, Amount.

So the Project has a collection called Budgets. Now I create a new project and would like to populate the Budgets EntityCollection.

ProjectEntity currentProject = new ProjectEntity();

BudgetEntity budget = new BudgetEntity();
budget.Year = Convert.ToInt32(ddlYear.SelectedValue);
budget.Amount = Convert.ToInt32(txtAmount.Text);

currentProject.Budgets.Add(budget);

Problem is that currentProject.Budgets is null ... and I can't do, because it's readonly:

currentProject.Budgets = new EntityCollectino<Budgetentity>();

But I don't want to save the project and later add the budgets ... this should be done in one transaction ...

Can someone helpe me with this?

Tnx in advance!

• G.I.

you can skip this line :

currentProject.Budgets = new EntityCollection<BudgetEntity>();

because the Budgets Collection is not null, so this block should work neatly:

ProjectEntity currentProject = new ProjectEntity();

BudgetEntity budget = new BudgetEntity(); budget.Year = Convert.ToInt32(ddlYear.SelectedValue); budget.Amount = Convert.ToInt32(txtAmount.Text);

currentProject.Budgets.Add(budget);

tnx, found also that project entity was not correctly initiated all the time ... postback stuff ... now it works
