In Entity Framework - Is there any way to retrieve a newly created ID (identity) inside a transaction before calling \'SaveChanges\'?

Answer 1

A simple work around for this would be

var ParentRecord = new ParentTable () {
SomeProperty = "Some Value",
AnotherProperty = "Another Property Value"
};

ParentRecord.ChildTable.Add(new ChildTable () {
ChildTableProperty = "Some Value",
ChildTableAnotherProperty = "Some Another Value"
});

db.ParentTable.Add(ParentRecord);

db.SaveChanges();

Where ParentTable and ChildTable are two tables connected with Foregin key.
