I am trying to simply update the entity object and I get this error.. All the googling on the error I did takes me to complex explanations... can anyone put it simply? 
I am working of of this simple tutorial

            Hi all,
I've been following with great interest the converstaion here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3769141/construct-query-with-linq-rather-than-sql-strings
with regards to constructing expression trees where even the table name is dynamic.
Toward that end, I've created a Extension method, addWhere, that looks like:

            I'm trying to do some really dynamic querying here - preferably without invoking the compiler at runtime though.
I have a string containing a LINQ expression, e.g.
var s = "from a in queryable where a.Type == 1 select a";
How can I get the resulting IQueryable or Expressions from that?
I've seen LINQPad and RavenDb both do this so I...

They are different, though. Honest.)

            I am getting a cast error with Linq to a DataTable that was populated with Oracle.  
bool isTrue = DataTable.AsEnumerable().Any
      (x => x.Field<int>("MYNUMBERFIELD") == MYNUMBER);
In SQL this works fine as expected.  In Oracle is fails with a cast error on the  cast.  In C# code the same thing happens when you do the following:

What I have is a basic forum table - e.g.

in this scheme, if a user asks a question, it is type = 0, and if it is an answer, type = 1. If the entry is an answer, I update the parentID to the id on the question...
            
           
          
            
            Hi all,
I'm working with a pretty nasty looking, but non-changable db.
We've got a table, called "Locations" with  column, "Position"
This column has values like "A SHELF 5"
Which means "Case A, Shelf 5". In an ideal world, I'd have a Case and Shelf column, with the values "A" and 5, respectively.
What I'm wondering, is if there's a...

            In the database of an application I'm using, there is a record that has a "Date" field. In many places in the code, we need to translate that into a Fiscal Year for grouping, selecting, and filtering. So here are a few examples of what a query might look like:
var query = from r in DB.records
