Session: Storing Entities

To store entities inside the session object, use one of the three Store methods.

Syntax

First overload: Stores the entity in a session, then extracts the ID from the entity or generates a new one if it's not available.

void Store(object entity);

Second overload: Stores the entity in a session with given ID.

void Store(object entity, string id);

Third overload: Stores the entity in a session with given ID, forces concurrency check with given change vector.

void Store(object entity, string changeVector, string id);

Example

// generate Id automatically
session.Store(new Employee
{
    FirstName = "John",
    LastName = "Doe"
});

// send all pending operations to server, in this case only `Put` operation
session.SaveChanges();
