Does EF4 always generate an update statement for all related entities, even when only one entity actually changed?

This is a known bug in EF4 you can try to contact MS for a hotfix. You can detach unmodified entities before saving, save, and then reattach the entities as a workaround. As far as I have been able to tell, it appears fixed in the Developer Preview of .

NET Framework 4.5, but that is not licensed for production use.

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.
