This example illustrates how to implement CRUD operations with XtraGrid and EF 5. This approach is also applicable for Entity Framework 6.
To get a possibility to commit changes, it is necessary to store DbContext instance that is used to get the grid's data source. Then when necessary, you can commit changes to the data base using the DbContext.SaveChanges method

I'm having issues with this approach. I have a DirType Entity that has many DirParam Entities each. If I bind to grid as mentioned below, I get the desired drilling but in the child view, If I enter a value for any cell and move to another cell, the value disappears. This is not happening on main view but sub views only.
