Hi,

Thanks for the prompt reply.
The fifth parameter of the DataEntityProperty was indeed set to false.
Regenerating the code or updating the model didn't solve the problem until I deleted the model and created it again.

Thanks a lot for the help, I do really appreciate it!

Have a nice day!

Check the DataEntityProperty DevForce generated for this.  The fifth parameter, for "isAutoIncrementing", should be true.  If not, either the generated code is out of sync with the database, or somehow incorrect.  If you regenerate the code it should sync up with your database.

Good day,

I've the following code:


Role role;
foreach (var department in departments)
{
    role = new Role();
    role.Name = department;

    em.AddEntity(role);
}

em.SaveChanges();


Which used to work fine. But when I cleaned up the db and executed this same code, I'm now getting the following error when adding the 2nd entity to AddEntity():

"An entity with this key: Role: 0 already exists in this EntityManager"

The Id is Primary Key and Identity auto-incremented by 1. But somehow the Id is not longer auto-incremented when being added to the EntityManager.

This is the data property of the RoleId, generated by DevForce:


    [Key]
    [DataMember]
    [Bindable(true, BindingDirection.TwoWay)]
    [Editable(true)]
    [Display(Name="Id", AutoGenerateField=true)]
    [IbVal.RequiredValueVerifier( ErrorMessageResourceName="Role_Id")]


And the script for the Role table:


CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Role](
    [Id] [smallint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [Name] [nvarchar](25) NOT NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_Role] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
    [Id] ASC
)WITH
 (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, 
ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]


Could someone be so kind to point me out what is the problem?

Thanks in advance,
Dave
