Entity Framework: adding existing child POCO to new Parent POCO, creates new child in DB

Question

Im wanting to use Entity Framework POCO in a disconnected (from context) mode. In my scenario I\'m creating a new Parent object and want to attach an existing child object

Answer 1

Entity Framework does not allow relationships that cross contexts.

If you place the reading of the course and connecting the course to the student within the same using statement, it would work.
