You could try not adding it to the relationship until they hit save.

Alternatively wire the edit interface up to a dictionary and build the whole object when they hit the save button. that way you don't have to faff around tidying up if they bail out instead.

Hi all,

Is there a way for me to add an object to a to many relationship (list of objects) without leaving the page or representing the newObject both in the list and in the edit interface?

For example:

Meeting edit page

Attendees:
        John
        Mary
        Edward
        
        add new attendee(button)

When you hit the "add new attendee" button you get the new person object displayed in both the list and associated with the edit interface.

        John
        Mary
        Edward
        (new person)

        name: (new person)
        (save) (cancel)

The attendee has a mandatory meeting relationship, so it is added to the meeting upon creation. The new object is displayed as the final object in the to many relationship even before saveChanges is called on the editingContext. Is it possible to show only the objects in the relationship that have already been saved to the database and the newly created (but not yet saved) object separately?

Normally I would add the attendee on a separate page and on save come back to the original meeting page but I would like to eliminate some jumping around if possible.

Thanks,

David
