I am using KeyTable as my models identity method but I am in a situation where I need to get a new Entity's id before it is saved, and KeyTable only assigns the id when an entity is saved. How can I get the id assigned before the save? Manually getting a KeyTable id and assigning it using GenerateId() on an entity would also work. |

[quote user="James Newton-King"]KeyTable only assigns the id when an entity is saved[/quote] That is incorrect. KeyTable assigns the ID when the entity joins a unit of work (via the Add method, or by being associated with another entity that is already part of a UOW). In fact, all identity methods except IdentityColumn work this way. |

Awesome! I hadn't noticed. Out of interested do Guid identities work like that as well or can they get an id generated prior to being associated with a UOW? They're what I've used a lot in the past. |

Guid identities work the same way. They do not get an ID generated prior to being associated with a UOW. |
