Linq To Sql and identity_insert

Question

I am trying to do record inserts on a table where the Primary Key is an Identity field.

I have tried calling
mycontext.ExecuteCommand("S

Answer 1

What I did is something like this(Nbuider is used to create entities). I create all rows normally except the identity insert row; which is done in the end. This is test data creation hence transaction was not needed.

using (var entitiesEfContext = new ContextABC())
{

    var platforms = Builder
                                .CreateListOfSize(4)
                                .TheFirst(1)
                                .With(x => x.Description = "Desc1")
                                .With(x => x.IsDeleted = false)
                                .TheNext(1)
                                .With(x => x.Description = "Desc2")
                                .With(x => x.IsDeleted = false)
                                .TheNext(1)
                                .With(x => x.Description = "Desc3")
                                .With(x => x.IsDeleted = false)
                                .TheNext(1)
                                .With(x => x.Description = "Desc4")
                                .With(x => x.IsDeleted = false)
                                .Build();
                foreach (var platform in platforms)
                {
                    entitiesEfContext.Platform.AddObject(platform);
                }
                entitiesEfContext.SaveChanges();

              // the identity insert row (o as id in my case)

               entitiesEfContext.ExecuteStoreCommand("SET IDENTITY_INSERT Platform ON; INSERT INTO [Platform](Platformid,[Description],[IsDeleted],[Created],[Updated]) VALUES (0,'Desc0' ,0 ,getutcdate(),getutcdate());SET IDENTITY_INSERT Platform Off");


              }
