Hi there,

I have...

            orderDetailEntity.AccountAssignment[0].Account = newAccount;

            adapter.SaveEntity(orderDetailEntity.AccountAssignment[0], true, true);

LLBLGen is saving 'newAccount' but 'AccountAssignment[0]' is still referencing the old and its IsDirty status is false.

Shouldn't it be updated?

Cheers, Ian.

Is orderDetailEntity.AccountAssignment an m:n relation?

Its 1:n.

Does SQL profiler show the correct entities being saved, and then reloaded ?

Matt

If I remember correctly, it was showing the account being saved and re-fetched but the account assignment was not updated.

We will try to reproduce it. What is your Runtime Library version?

It was 2.6.10.421.

To get it to work I've been using...

            adapter.SaveEntity(newAccount, true, true);

            accountAssignmentEntity.AccountId = newAccount.AccountId;
            accountAssignmentEntity.Account = newAccount;

            adapter.SaveEntity(accountAssignmentEntity, true, true);

Could you please post the complete code (which doesn't work)?

Looks like an fk field isn't synced directly? This is logical, as newAccount is likely an entity with an identity PK, so it's synced after the save of newAccount. This makes orderDetailEntity.AccountAssignment[0] not dirty at assignment, but it IS saved. orderDetailEntity.AccountAssignment[0] isn't reset to a new entity, the Fk field is just updated.

Could you please confirm what exactly you expect and what actually happens?

I was expecting the original code to insert the new account and for the account assignment to be updated to reference the new chalet such that...

accountAssignmentEntity.AccountId

...has the value of the new account's pk (which is indeed an identity column) and...

accountAssignmentEntity.Account

...references the new account.

Please.

It was literally just creating a new account and assigning it to a pre-existing account assignment. The only thing missing from the code in my first post is the newing up of the account.

One complication is that the account assignment references an AccountEntity where as the type of account created is a ChaletAccountEntity which inherits from AccountEntity.

Hi

Please can you give us the full details of the relationship of the entities and a full example of the code which does not work - it's a bit difficult to try and work out what's going on when the information only arrives in chunks...!

Thanks

Matt
