  in How to let try-catch works in LINQPad Comment by nescafe January 30
• Instead of using try/catch to check for existing values, which is considered bad practice (exceptions are costly), you better use headers.AllKeys.Contains("User-Agent") to check for an existing value. But, a shorter path is redefining the header. A…

  in Able to query but not insert Comment by nescafe November 2018
• Have you looked at my (EF 6) example? You linked a LINQ-to-SQL example, but are using Entity Framework. They use different methods. My example uses EF 6 methods (Table.Add and SaveChanges). EF 5 would require AddObject and SaveChanges).

  in Able to query but not insert Comment by nescafe November 2018
• Ah, Table<> is for LINQ-to-SQL generated data context. For EF the code is a bit different. Doesn't explain why you get the 'Type could not be found' error. If it's visible in the tree view, I'd assume the type is in the current namespace. Or…
