An IdeaBlade exception is thrown in (non-SilverLight) code when compound primary key contains NULL.
We have a simple view on our database with an outer join, and in flagging the fields we thought was a unique key, it turns out that one element could be NULL due to the OUTER clause.  This raises an internal exception when the enumerator is fetched.
While this is a situation to avoid, it's extremely difficult to identify the cause of the exception, sp perhaps it needs either a check internally so meaningful feedback can be displayed?

                    var datarows = from datarow in _context.ExportAllResponseDatas
                                   where datarow.QuestionnaireVersionId == qversionid
                                         && datarow.LastUpdated <= _snapshotTime
                                         && (datarow.ResponseState.HasValue && datarow.ResponseState.Value != 1)
                                   orderby datarow.ResponseSetID
                                   select datarow;

                    var dataenumerator = datarows.GetEnumerator();

Hi jsobell;

Thanks for the feedback. Let me try to repro this and file a bug report as needed.
