Get Auto Identity Key after Insert via EF

Question

Is there a straight forward way of retrieving a DB auto generated primary key when adding a record via Entity Framework 4.1?

For example:

dbcontext.         


        

Answer 1

I believe EF should update your entity object with the identity:

var entity = new Entity_Table { item1 = val1, item2 = val2 };
dbcontext.Entity_Tables.Add(entity);
dbcontext.SaveChanges();
int newPK = entity.ID;
