Data Conflict in LINQ

Question

When making changes using SubmitChanges(), LINQ sometimes dies with a ChangeConflictException exception with the error message Row not found

Answer 1

These (which you could add in a partial class to your datacontext might help you understand how this works:

public void SubmitKeepChanges()
{
    try
    {
        this.SubmitChanges(ConflictMode.ContinueOnConflict);
    }
    catch (ChangeConflictException e)
    {
        foreach (ObjectChangeConflict occ in this.ChangeConflicts)
        {
            //Keep current values that have changed, 
//updates other values with database values

            occ.Resolve(RefreshMode.KeepChanges);
        }
    }
}

public void SubmitOverwrite()
{
    try
    {
        this.SubmitChanges(ConflictMode.ContinueOnConflict);
    }
    catch (ChangeConflictException e)
    {
        foreach (ObjectChangeConflict occ in this.ChangeConflicts)
        {
            // All database values overwrite current values with 
//values from database

            occ.Resolve(RefreshMode.OverwriteCurrentValues);
        }
    }
}

public void SubmitKeepCurrent()
{
    try
    {
        this.SubmitChanges(ConflictMode.ContinueOnConflict);
    }
    catch (ChangeConflictException e)
    {
        foreach (ObjectChangeConflict occ in this.ChangeConflicts)
        {
            //Swap the original values with the values retrieved from the database. No current value is modified
            occ.Resolve(RefreshMode.KeepCurrentValues);
        }
    }
}
