Insertion multiple records in the same objectContext

Question

I'm having some trouble when I try to insert data using the same objectContext.

My problem is, the order that the Entity read my code is not the order that I "Add" it.

Example:

EntityAB has EntityA's PK as a FK. 1-N relationship.

objContext.DbSet.Add(EntityA);
objContext.DbSet.Add(EntityAB);
objContext.SaveChanges();

Error Message when the code reach SaveChanges():

The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_EntityAB_EntityA". The conflict occurred in database "dbTest", table "dbo.EntityA", column 'IdEntityA'.
The statement has been terminated.

So, my entity framework is reading objContext.DbSet.Add(EntityAB); before objContext.DbSet.Add(EntityA);

If I change the code to:

objContext.DbSet.Add(EntityA);
objContext.SaveChanges();
objContext.DbSet.Add(EntityAB);
objContext.SaveChanges();

It works.

But I can't. It need to be done in one SaveChanges() because of the auditing.

My question is,
CAN I OBLIGATE THE SAVECHANGES() READ THE CODE IN THE ORDER THAT I ADD IT?

Answer 1

How is your context set up?

I think the following might work..

in the context

public DbSet<EntityA> EntityAs { get; set; }
public DbSet<EntityAB EntityABs { get; set; }

then in your other code

objContext.EntityAs.Add(EntityA);
objContext.EntityAB.Add(EntityAB);
objContext.SaveChanges();

If that doesn't work I would explore

objContext.local
