Add(TEntity)

Adds the entity to the repository. NOTE: Caller should proceed with the returned entity rather than the passed entity to guarantee proper unit of work tracking to be managed (i.e. the returned entity is not guaranteed to be reference equal to the passed entity).

Declaration
TEntity Add(TEntity entity)
Parameters
Type Name Description
TEntity entity

The entity to create or update.
Returns
Type Description
TEntity

The resultant repository-persistent entity. CAUTION: Do not attempt to serialize returned repository entities. They are not guaranteed to be TEntity alone. They are more likely to be a dynamic proxy class inheriting from TEntity and extending it with additional properties you wouldn't want serialized. For serialization, you should map the entity to a suitably controlled DTO / view model, etc..
