Hi frans.

I have a class that wraps an entity (Country). Country contains all the Englisg names for all the countries. It has a FK relationship to Afrikaans Countries (Another table) - yeah pretty wierd database design.

My problem is with the code below. The set of the property below in not working. As soon as value is assigned to this.CountryEntity.Country_AfrikaansEntity.Country the value of this.CountryEntity.Country_AfrikaansEntity.Country becomes "" (Empty string) .

        public string CountryAfrikaansName
        {
            get { return this.CountryEntity.Country_AfrikaansEntity.Country; }
            set { this.CountryEntity.Country_AfrikaansEntity.Country = value; }
        }

This only happens when new countries are inserted and not when editing. Is it possible that the assignment for "CountryAfrikaansName" is not working because "this.CountryEntity" has not been saved yet?

If you're using selfservicing, and the entities are not yet filled in, it indeed wants to retrieve the entities from the DB, which are then empty.
