I am not completely sure what you are trying to do, but you may find this trick helpful. Assume emp is an Employe

emp.id = 22

gives compiler error. "Property Id is read-only";

but

emp["Id"] = 22;

compiles and assigns 22 to Id property;

You can also use:

emp[0] = 22;

The object mapper by default sets all PK fields to ReadOnly.

In many cases in our application we are passing the values for the PK to the create method on a Business Object class.

In the example below ComponentId is the PK of IOComponentOption. How do I set this without changing all the field definitions in the Object Mapper for 500+ business objects? I assume I can use the SetColumnValue method but this is a lot of code to rewrite for almost every business object.

EXAMPLE:

public static IOComponentOption Create(int componentId){

IOComponentOption option = Session.PM.CreateEntity<IOComponentOption>() as IOComponentOption;

option.ComponentId = componentId;

option.Data = String.Empty;

option.AddToManager();

return(option);

}
