    <p>I just started to play with the entity framework, so I decided to connect it to my existing SQL Server CE database. I have a table with an IDENTITY(1, 1) primary key but when I tried to add an entity, I've got the above-mentioned error.</p> <p>From <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc835494.aspx" rel="noreferrer">MS Technet artice</a> I learned that</p> <blockquote> <p>SQL Server Compact does not support entities with server-generated keys or values when it is used with the Entity Framework. When using the Entity Framework, an entity’s keys may be marked as server generated. This enables the database to generate a value for the key on insertion or entity creation. Additionally, zero or more properties of an entity may be marked as server-generated values. For more information, see the Store Generated Pattern topic in the Entity Framework documentation. SQL Server Compact does not support entities with server-generated keys or values when it is used with the Entity Framework, although the Entity Framework allows you to define entity types with server-generated keys or values. Data manipulation operation on an entity that has server-generated values throws a "Not supported" exception.</p> </blockquote> <p>So now I have a few questions:</p> <ul> <li>Why would you mark key as server-generated if it is not supported and will throw an exception? It's hard to make sence from the quoted paragraph.</li> <li>When I've tried to add StoreGeneratedPattern="Identity" to my entity's property, Studio complained that it is not allowed. What I'm doing wrong?</li> <li>What is the best workaround for this limitation (including switching to another DB)? My limitations are zero-installation and using entity framework.</li> </ul>

    1. CONHibernate works fine in the same situation, btw.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
