c# - access object properties after it was added to db -

i have create method add new employee object database, after employee added want go edit page able enter more details employee if wish.

the edit action method takes 1 parameter, employeeid, employeeid dynamically assigned database once object added employee table. how access id of newly added employee after _db.savechanges() within same action method?

here part of method looks like:

[httppost] [validateantiforgerytoken] public actionresult create(employee employee) {  _db.employees.add(employee);  _db.savechanges();  //access employee , gets id???  //var id = id???  return redirecttoaction("editemployeeviewmodel", new { id = id}); } 

you use this:

employee.id 

the employee object synchronized changes make db. hence, when add objects employees , call savechanges, objects saved db , it's state updated, having id of employee.

specifically, stated here:

entity framework default follows each insert select scope_identity() when autogenerated ids used.
