At first I should mention that this problem only occurs in windows forms applications and the same program in web mode for example with MVC3 works perfect.
Some days ago I wrote a very simple windows form program using Visual studio 2010 ultimate with a SQL Express database. I added the database by choosing Add > New item > Service-Based database and an entity data model based on this database in same way. I used Entity framework for adding some new records to tables. I had done such thing with VS 2008 SP1 before with no problem so I did the same. The program compiled and ran with no errors and I entered some new data. after exiting the program I came back to the database and nothing was happened. None of information I had entered had been saved. I debug the program step by step and everything was alright. The code below is related to a very simple program with mentioned problem. Database has one table (book):
namespace Book
{
public partial class BookForm : Form
{
BookDatabaseEntities db = new BookDatabaseEntities();
public BookForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void saveButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Book bookToCreate = new Book();
bookToCreate.Id = Guid.NewGuid();
bookToCreate.Title = titleTextBox.Text;
db.Books.AddObject(bookToCreate);
db.SaveChanges();
}
}
}
I'll be very grateful if anyone help me. Thanks in advance.

After editing:
namespace Book
{
public partial class BookForm : Form
{
//BookDatabaseEntities db = new BookDatabaseEntities();
public BookForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void saveButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var db = new BookDatabaseEntities();
var bookToCreate = db.Books.CreateObject();
//Book bookToCreate = new Book();
bookToCreate.Id = Guid.NewGuid();
bookToCreate.Title = titleTextBox.Text;
db.AcceptAllChanges();
db.Books.AddObject(bookToCreate);
db.SaveChanges();
}
}
}
