The problem I'm coming across now is that I can't update such a column, because I have set the auto generated value to true, and LINQ won't let me change such a value, a la "System.InvalidOperationException: Value of member 'Activated' of an object of type 'Customers' changed. A member that is computed or generated by the database cannot be changed." This is fine for identity fields, but the field I'm updating is a bit that starts off FALSE on every record, and is later updated to TRUE. How can I resolve this, so that when inserting records I don't have to include this column, yet when updating records I can change its value? -- Carles Ferrer
Hello Carles, The symptom sounds very similar to the problem described in the codeproject article: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/linq/SettingDefaultValues.aspx (see the part of the author set the IsDbGenerated property to true) The workaround is to hook the Updating and Inserting events of LinqDataSource, and reset the LINQ object's default values for insert and update. Please have a look and let me know whether the article is helpful to you or not. If you have any other concerns or questions, DON'T hesitate to tell me.
