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
