Insert data using Entity Framework model

Question

I'm trying to insert some data in my database using Entity Framework model, but for some unknown reasons to me, it does nothing.

Am I missing something here?

using (var context = new DatabaseEntities()) {     var t = new test     {         ID = Guid.NewGuid(),         name = "blah",     };     context.AddTotest(t);     context.SaveChanges(); }

It should be:

context.TableName.AddObject(TableEntityInstance); 

Where:

1. TableName: the name of the table in the database.
2. TableEntityInstance: an instance of the table entity class.

If your table is Orders, then:

Order order = new Order(); context.Orders.AddObject(order); 

For example:

 var id = Guid.NewGuid();   // insert  using (var db = new EfContext("name=EfSample"))  {     var customers = db.Set<Customer>();     customers.Add( new Customer { CustomerId = id, Name = "John Doe" } );      db.SaveChanges();  } 

Here is a live example:

public void UpdatePlayerScreen(byte[] imageBytes, string installationKey) {   var player = (from p in this.ObjectContext.Players where p.InstallationKey == installationKey select p).FirstOrDefault();    var current = (from d in this.ObjectContext.Screenshots where d.PlayerID == player.ID select d).FirstOrDefault();    if (current != null)   {     current.Screen = imageBytes;     current.Refreshed = DateTime.Now;      this.ObjectContext.SaveChanges();   }   else   {     Screenshot screenshot = new Screenshot();      screenshot.ID = Guid.NewGuid();     screenshot.Interval = 1000;     screenshot.IsTurnedOn = true;     screenshot.PlayerID = player.ID;     screenshot.Refreshed = DateTime.Now;     screenshot.Screen = imageBytes;      this.ObjectContext.Screenshots.AddObject(screenshot);     this.ObjectContext.SaveChanges();   } }
