Hi.

Whenever I access Navigational properties of entities in Silverlight asynchronously, my entities get marked as "Modified" by devforce. This is causing severe confusion in my UI.

Any idea when this might be fixed?

Hi,

 
How are you acesssing the navigation properties?
I wrote a small test (below) and the nav properties are Unchanged.
 
Can you provide a test case (preferably against NorthwindIB) reproducing the issue?
 
 
var employeesQuery = mgr.Employees.Include("Orders");
mgr.ExecuteQueryAsync(
  employeesQuery,
    args => {
      if (args.HasError) {
        throw args.Error;
      }
      var orders = args.Results.First().Orders;
      var numberOfOrders = orders.Count();
      Random randNum = new Random();
      var index = randNum.Next(numberOfOrders - 1);
      var anOrder = orders[index];
      if (anOrder.EntityAspect.EntityState == EntityState.Unchanged) {
        MessageBox.Show("EntityState is Unchanged as expected");
      } else {
        MessageBox.Show("Something is wrong. EntityState is " + anOrder.EntityAspect.EntityState.ToString());
      }
    },
    null);

That is not going to produce the error. You are not accessing anything asynchronously in that test.

The kind of navigation I am talking about is the same as what would happen between the Product.SupplierID relationship.

Try something like this:

                mgr.ExecuteQueryAsync(mgr.Products).Completed+=(s,e)=>
                {
                    e.Results.ToList().ForEach( p =>
                        {
                            p.Supplier.EntityAspect.PendingEntityResolved+=(sender,args)=>
                                {
                                    if (p.EntityAspect.EntityState == EntityState.Unchanged)
                                    {
                                        MessageBox.Show("EntityState is Unchanged as expected");
                                    }
                                    else
                                    {
                                        MessageBox.Show("Something is wrong. EntityState is " + p.EntityAspect.EntityState.ToString());
                                    }
                                };
                        });
                };

The call to r.Supplier triggers devforce to fetch the supplier asynchronously, while handing a fake one to you. So far so good. Once the async  fetch is complete however, the fake value is supposed to get a PropertyChangedEvent. Instead no event seems to occur and r.Supplier is marked as modified. Disaster!

pompomJuice - we've fixed this bug in the 6.0.6 release.   This release is due out within a week, and an EAP build is available now upon request.
