Is there an easier way to update an object with L2S other then doing it property by property?

This is what I am doing now:

Public ActionResult Edit(Object obj)
{
    var objToUpdate = _repository.Single<Object>(o => o.id = obj.id);
    objToUpdate.Prop1 = obj.Prob1;
    objToUpdate.Prop2 = obj.Prop2;

    ...

    _repository.SubmitChanges();
}

I am hoping there is a way to just say objToUpdate = obj then submit the changes???

Any help on this would be appreciated!
