LinQ. update column with auto generated value

[Roger Tranchez]

The problem I'm coming across now is that I can't update such a column,
because I have set the auto generated value to true, and LINQ won't let me
change such a value, a la "System.InvalidOperationException: Value of member
'Activated' of an object of type 'Customers' changed. A member that is
computed or generated by the database cannot be changed."



This is fine for identity fields, but the field I'm updating is a bit that
starts off FALSE on every record, and is later updated to TRUE. How can I
resolve this, so that when inserting records I don't have to include this
column, yet when updating records I can change its value?

Hello Carles,

The symptom sounds very similar to the problem described in the codeproject
article:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/linq/SettingDefaultValues.aspx
(see the part of the author set the IsDbGenerated property to true)

The workaround is to hook the Updating and Inserting events of
LinqDataSource, and reset the LINQ object's default values for insert and
update.

Please have a look and let me know whether the article is helpful to you or
not. If you have any other concerns or questions, DON'T hesitate to tell me.
