Hi all,

I hope you can help me. This is an issue I have been battling with for days now, and I am struggling to resolve it.

My setup:

I am using VS2015 Community Edition
I am using LINQ to SQL
.Net 4.5

I have read up quite a bit on this specific error, and it seems there are a couple ways to resolve it. I have unfortunately not been able to.

My error lies on this line:

C#: 
[COLOR=black]sourceContext[/COLOR][COLOR=black].[/COLOR][COLOR=#2B91AF]ProjectMasters[/COLOR][COLOR=black].[/COLOR][COLOR=#2B91AF]Attach[/COLOR][COLOR=black]([/COLOR][COLOR=black]project[/COLOR][COLOR=black],[/COLOR][COLOR=#00008B]true[/COLOR][COLOR=black]);[/COLOR]

I get the error: An entity can only be attached as modified without original state if it declares a version member or does not have an update check policy.

I have read and tried (where possible) the following solutions:

Entity attachment issues in LINQ
Update check' issue when updating an entity using DataContext Attach method
System.InvalidOperationException: An entity can only be attached as modified

And more ...

It seems the problem lies in this; that I am not updating an unchanged record. However, as far as I can see and understand, the record IS changed.
I am sure it is something simple I am doing wrong, and perhaps just need a set of new eyes on it.

Please remember; I am a newbie :) Thank you for your patience.
