Linq to SQL: Why am I getting IDENTITY_INSERT errors?

Question

I\'m using Linq to SQL. I have a DataContext against which I am .SubmitChanges()\'ing. There is an error inserting the identity field:

Cannot insert explicit value for         


        

Answer 1

Ensure the property Auto Generated Value in your dbml for that column is set to true. If not, LINQ will attempt to default the value based on the type.
