I’m quite new to .net and entity framework (this is my first project) and I’m getting the following error when trying to update the database:
I’m working on my first real asp.net web application and I’m kind of stumped on the best place and method to trap and handle database constraint violations. Suppose I have a unique constraint on a column and a user inputs something that would violate that unique constraint. Do I catch it in the business layer by making a call to the database to check of the value exists for that column or do I let it go all the way to the database and let it throw an exception and handle that in my application?
