I am creating a model-first Entity Framework 4 app that uses SQL CE as its data store. All is well until I call ObjectContext.SaveChanges() to save changes to the entities in the model. At that point, SaveChanges() throws a System.Data.UpdateException, with an inner exception message that reads as follows:

Server-generated keys and server-generated values are not supported by SQL Server Compact.

I am completely puzzled by this message. Any idea what is going on and how to fix it? Thanks.

Here is the Exception dump:

System.Data.UpdateException was unhandled
  Message=An error occurred while updating the entries. See the inner exception for details.
