It seems there are a lot of ways to configure entityframework and everyone has there own take on what is best. All I can offer is my take based on what we've standardized at my work. A lot of this is developer preference.
My preference happens to be controlling as much as possible so I always understand exactly what is happening and when.
I was able to replicate your problem using SQL CE, as well as using EF code first using the code above.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
