Hours Wasted assuming the framework could handle a complex object save(insert, or update)

[C-BERBER]

I foolishly assumed that the EF would understand based on all of the keying relationships I defined what was a new object vs what was to be updated (or even removed).

It seems to me that there should be one method that performs this for any complex model.

Having to manage the implementation above will require a lot of redundant code across multiple levels of a big data model. This is a great opportunity for a framework to shine...

If it does this somewhere else and I just haven't uncovered it please let me know.
Thanks
