Re: Setting an attribute based on PK?

In these days and times, is the first sign of madness replying to your

Just saw some code on WODev (thanks to all who have created that 
wonderful resource) for generating primary keys on insert.  I will try 
that and see how it goes.

Of  course, the downside is that the primary keys may not get used (ie 
no saveChanges) and you lose any sequencing/counting on the primary key 
(but then it is supposed to be database-specific not app-specific).

If anyone can tell me why the method I originally tried (using the 
primary key after it was generated on a saveChanges) didn't work, or a 
better way to do what that, I would be most grateful.

Thanks to all those who have replied to my post ;-)

Cheers,
Ashley
