Automatically Update Entity Instance From Class MVC 3?
Nov 15, 2011
I've got a class that closely resembles one of my entities (I use the class for JSON de/serialization because the entity fails conversion to JSON, one of the known gotchyas of JSON + MVC).Once I deserilize a JSON string into my object, is there a way to automatically update the associated Entity model instance. The property names are the same.
'myDeserialized is the deserialized JSON object coming over the wire
Dim entityInstance As DLL.Person = db.getPersonById(myDeserialized.id)
myDeserialized.update(entityInstance)

I want to update an entity without loading the entity from the database first. I've accomplished this but only by knowing all of the entities properties and then using the "attachto" method. My issues is i don't want my app to need to remember all of the properties. Example:

I am trying to jump from ASP Classic to asp.net. I have followed tutorials to get Entity Framework and LINQ to connect to my test database, but I am having difficulties figuring out ExecuteQuery(). I believe the problem is that I need an "entity class" for my database, but I can't figure out how to do it. Here is my simple code:
Dim db as New TestModel.TestEntity
Dim results AS IEnumerable(OF ???) = db.ExecuteQuery(Of ???)("Select * from Table1")
From the microsoft example site, they use an entity class called Customers, but I don't understand what that means.

I'm working on a new project and got some experience with Entity Framework 3.5. Now that I'm building the model and writing the first methods I notice that Entity Framework 4 seems to load every reference to which a navigation property exists. In 3.5 I had to manually .Include() each entity that was referenced if I wanted to access them. It even loads nested references. I've got 3 tables that look something like this:

At first I was using this as an extension method to update my detached entities...

If objectDetached.EntityState = EntityState.Detached Then
Dim original As Object = Nothing

Everything has been working great until I had to update non-scalar properties. Correct me if I am wrong but that is because "ApplyCurrentValues" only supports scalars. To get around this I was just saving the FK_ID field instead of the entity object relation. Now I am faced with a many to many relationship so its not that simple. I would like to do something like this...
Dim Resource = RelatedResource.GetByID(item.Value)
Condition.RelatedResources.Add(Resource)
But when I call SaveChanges the added Resources aren't saved. I started to play around with self-tracking entities but it seems they cannot be serialized to ViewState and this is a requirement for me.how to either save my many to many relationships or serialize self-tracking entities?

I would like to update a row like this:
update [approvers] set approvalstatus = True Where approvalstatus = False and bookingID = @bookingid and approveremail = @email
Using the entity framework.
I have my query which should deliver the item like so:
Dim db As New Model.Entities
Dim approvers = From a In db.approvers Where a.ApprovalStatus = False And a.BookingID = BookingID And a.ApproverEmail = UserName Select a.ApprovalStatus
How do I next target this record for update, so that I can set a.approvalStatus = True then commit these changes to the db?

I have extended an Entity Framework 4 entity class with a calculated property in a partial class. This member is not available on the client to which the entities are exposed via WCF RIA Services.when using C# appears to be changing the extension of the partial class file from .cs to .shared.cs. I tried this with my VB.Net solution (.vb to .shared.vb) and got a long list of errors. I believe what happened is that the partial class lost its association with the entity on the client - it inherited from object rather than EntityObject.
My best guess is that this is related to the way that VB.Net handles namespaces.Each project has a 'Root Namespace' which is prepended to anything that is defined within a code file. C# has a 'Default Namespace'which is the namespace into which new types are placed by default - via a namespace statement within the file.The partial class is probably having the client namespace prepended to it which puts it into a different namespace than the entity with which it is associated on the server.Is there any means of extending an entity in such a way that those extensions are available on the client via WCF RIA Services and VB.Net?

I have a database table called Job. I have mapped this table using LINQ to SQL so that I have a class called Job.
What I want to do is add some methods to the Job class. The Job class is defined in the LINQ to SQL classes .dbml file. So, in order to add methods, or anything else to the Job class what should I do?
Should I create a partial class named Job and define the methods in there? Will that then get mixed in properly? Not sure how to proceed on this one.

I have a GridView that is tied to an EntityDataSource. Most columns are normal bound columns, but two are itemtemplates. When I attempt a delete on one of the rows I receive the following message:
"A property named 'Building1.building_name' was not found on the entity during an insert, update, or delete operation. Check to ensure that properties specified as binding expressions are available to the data source."
I'm not sure how it is possible that this isn't available, since it displays the element just fine when I'm just viewing - it just throws the error when I attempt deleting a row?

I've createda vb.net class library where I've defined a number of small classes... nothing complicated, just working with strings, sending emails, etc.In another project, I reference the class library and I'm seemingly able to create an instance ofone of tclasses - intellisense shows me all of the plic properties, methods, etc... all looks perfect. No compile errors at all, nothing b gumdropsand lollipops.When I run the app I'm working on that references the class library, it fails at the point where I'm creating an instance of the class and gives me a vague exception, "System.TypeLoadException".
