Hey everyone,
I'm haing a few problems updating a row in my database using Linq2Sql.
Inside of my
model I have two methods for updating and saving from my controller, which in turn receives an updated
model from my view.
My
model methods like like:
public void Update(Activity activity)
{
_db.Activities.InsertOnSubmit(activity);
}
public void Save()
{
_db.SubmitChanges();
}
and the code in my Controller likes like:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Edit(Activity activity)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
UpdateModel<Activity>(activity);
_activitiesModel.Update(activity);
_activitiesModel.Save();
}
return View(activity);
}
The problem I'm having is that this code inserts a new entry into the database, even though the
model item i'm inserting-on-submit contains a primary key field.
I've also tried re-attaching the
model object back to the data source but this throws an error because the item already exists.
Any pointers in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE:
I'm using dependancy injection to instantiate my datacontext object as follows:
IMyDataContext _db;
public ActivitiesModel(IMyDataContext db)
{
_db = db;
}
