Entity Framework IDENTITY_INSERT ON doesn't work

Question

using (MCT_DB_ArchiveEntities ent = new MCT_DB_ArchiveEntities())
{
  ent.Exec         


        

Answer 1

It is not supposed to work. It works only if the identity insert is turned on on the same connection as the real insert. In your case two different connections can be used. To make it work you have to maintain your own DB connection and pass it to ObjectContext's constructor.
