I want to insert to all parent and child tables at once ,As you can see I can't access the properties in child tables and also there's no intellisense to show the properties unlike the parent
I think I need a Linq query but I have no idea

have you tried
[WebMethod]
public void AddEmployementRequest(EmployementRequest emp) {
emp.PKEmploymentRequest = Guid.NewGuid();
using (var db = new UKN_DBNAMEEntities()) {
db.EmployementRequests.Add(emp);
db.SaveChanges();
}
}
It may/should do, but...
Consider:
using automapper or the like;
use some query to avoid recreation of Language or Skil

Travelport uAPI SoapClient response issue

i am new to travelport universal api. i receive response from api. I perform LOW FARE SEARCH and in response the fare information and the flight information return in two different list.the problem is that i don't find any relationship in these LIST's. and also WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO DECODE THE WSDL RESPONSE. i am using WSDL below is my code
string TargetBranch = "P7004961";
string OriginApplication = "uAPI";
string Origin="DXB";
string Destination="LHR";
string Departuredate = "2014-03-25T00:00:00";
string FlightStatus = "One-way";
string url = "https://americas-uapi.copy-webservices.travelport.com/B2BGateway/connect/uAPI/AirService";
string ReturnDate = "2014-04-05T00:00:00";
string UserName = "Universal API/uAPI6035036525-8ff7f8fc", Password = "DSXSEDn3fme9d6m2DfKP5rEaW";
LowFareSearchReq req = new LowFareSearchReq();
req.TargetBranch = TargetBranch;
BillingPointOfSaleInfo biPOS = new BillingPointOfSaleInfo();
biPOS.OriginApplication = OriginApplication;
req.BillingPointOfSaleInfo = biPOS;
/////////// Origin to Destination////////////////
SearchAirLeg airLeg = new SearchAirLeg();
Airport fromAirPort = new Airport() { Code = Origin };
typeSearchLocation fromTypLoc = new typeSearchLocation() { Item = fromAirPort };
airLeg.SearchOrigin = new typeSearchLocation[1] { fromTypLoc };
Airport toAirPort = new Airport() { Code = Destination };
typeSearchLocation toTypLoc = new typeSearchLocation() { Item = toAirPort };
airLeg.SearchDestination = new typeSearchLocation[1] { toTypLoc };
typeTimeSpec origDep = new typeTimeSpec() { PreferredTime = Departuredate };
airLeg.Items = new typeTimeSpec[1] { origDep };
/////////////////// Destination to Origin ////////////////////
SearchAirLeg returnLeg = new SearchAirLeg();
Airport RetfromAirport = new Airport() { Code = Destination };
typeSearchLocation fromLocation = new typeSearchLocation() { Item = RetfromAirport };
returnLeg.SearchOrigin = new typeSearchLocation[1] { fromLocation };
Airport retToAirpot = new Airport() { Code = Origin };
typeSearchLocation tolocation = new typeSearchLocation() { Item = retToAirpot };
returnLeg.SearchDestination = new typeSearchLocation[1] { tolocation };
typeTimeSpec retdate = new typeTimeSpec() { PreferredTime = ReturnDate };
returnLeg.Items = new typeTimeSpec[1] { retdate };
///////// checking for one way or return//////////////////////////
if (FlightStatus == "One-way")
{
req.Items = new object[] { airLeg };
}
else
{
req.Items = new object[] { airLeg, returnLeg };
}
AirSearchModifiers AirsearchModifier = new AirSearchModifiers()
{
DistanceType = typeDistance.KM,
IncludeFlightDetails = true,
PreferNonStop = true,
MaxSolutions = "300",
PreferredProviders= new Provider[1]{ new Provider(){ Code="1G"}}
};
req.AirSearchModifiers = AirsearchModifier;
SearchPassenger pass1 = new SearchPassenger() { Code = "ADT" };
req.SearchPassenger = new SearchPassenger[] { pass1 };
string Currency = "PKR";
AirPricingModifiers AirPriceMode = new AirPricingModifiers() { CurrencyType = Currency, };
req.AirPricingModifiers = AirPriceMode;
LowFareSearchRsp response = new LowFareSearchRsp();
AirLowFareSearchBinding binding = new AirLowFareSearchBinding();
binding.Url = url;
binding.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(UserName, Password);
response = binding.service(req);

Thanks to all.Finally i found result which is below quit easy in fact In the LowFareSearch response you get back among other info a list of AirSegments and a list of AirPricingSolutions. Each AirPricingSolution contains AirPricingInfo with the applicable SegmentRef keys and BookingCode info. Each SegmentRef key corresponds to a flight in the AirSegment list. This is how you know which flights (AirSegments) correspond to a specific price (AirPricingSolution).

TimeActivity with .NET API v3 SDK

I can't get a time activity to save with the latest version of the .NET SDK and Quickbooks Online. I think it's the Employee Reference, but I just can't sort it out. Does the API even work right?
DataService commonService = new DataService(serviceContext);
string displayName = "Test Customer";
displayName = displayName.Replace("'", "\\'"); //Escape special characters
QueryService<Customer> customerQueryServiceXX = new QueryService<Customer>(serviceContext);
Customer resultCustomer = customerQueryServiceXX.Where(m => m.DisplayName == displayName).FirstOrDefault();
string employeeName = "First Last";
employeeName = employeeName.Replace("'", "\\'"); //Escape special characters
QueryService<Employee> customerQueryServiceEE = new QueryService<Employee>(serviceContext);
Employee resultEmployee = customerQueryServiceEE.Where(m => m.DisplayName == employeeName).FirstOrDefault();
string sfasdfasdfasdf = resultEmployee.FamilyName;
TimeActivity timeActivity = new TimeActivity();
timeActivity.BillableStatus = BillableStatusEnum.Billable;
timeActivity.BillableStatusSpecified = true;
timeActivity.Hours = 8;
timeActivity.Minutes = 0;
timeActivity.TxnDate = DateTime.Now.Date;
timeActivity.TxnDateSpecified = true;
//timeActivity.HourlyRate = new decimal(200);
//timeActivity.HourlyRateSpecified = true;
timeActivity.NameOf = TimeActivityTypeEnum.Employee;
timeActivity.NameOfSpecified = true;
timeActivity.CustomerRef = new ReferenceType()
{
name = resultCustomer.DisplayName,
Value = resultCustomer.Id
};
timeActivity.ItemRef = new ReferenceType()
{
name = resultEmployee.DisplayName,
Value = resultEmployee.Id,
};
timeActivity.Description = "Did something";
TimeActivity timeActivityResult = commonService.Add(timeActivity);

ItemRef is for providing service Items. Please use timeActivity.AnyIntuitObject for specifying vendor or employee
timeActivity.NameOf = TimeActivityTypeEnum.Employee;
timeActivity.NameOfSpecified = true;
timeActivity.ItemElementName = ItemChoiceType5.EmployeeRef;
timeActivity.AnyIntuitObject= new ReferenceType()
{

};

UPS API - LabelLinksIndicator - Object Reference not set to an instance of an object

Below is some code for generating a UPS shipping label. It is based on the .net sample provided in the UPS developer kit. My problem is with the line highlighted in bold below. It throws and error as follows "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.".
What I know is this LabelLinksIndicator is required if you want the UPS API to return a link to a label. Otherwise it returns details on the shipment but no label. The relevant section of the UPS documentation is at the bottom of my question.
What do I need to do to overcome this error? It is not clear to me from the documentation what value I should be passing for LabelLinksIndicator. I've tried passing a 1, true and and an empty string. Same error in every case. The error message seems to indicate that there is an object I need to instantiate that I am not currently. However, I can't figure out what to instantiate. The available information on the web and on UPS.com is unfortunately sparse.

I figured out what the problem was. I needed first to new-up an instance of
ShipmentTypeShipmentServiceOptions shipServOpt = new ShipmentTypeServiceOptions();
and
LabelDeliveryType labelDel = new LabelDeliveryType();
Then set the LabelLinksIndicator element
labeldel.LabelLinksIndicator = "";
Then assign the options to my shipment instance
shipment.ShipmentServiceOptions = shipServOpt;
Note, ShipmentServiceOptionsType is NOT the same as ShipmentTypeServiceOptions. This tripped me up for a while.
Dear UPS, if you are reading this please consider improving upon your documentation and providing a more complete set of code examples.

shipmentRequest.Shipment appears to be null, since you aren't assigning anything to it until the next line. So, you can't do shipmentRequest.Shipment.ANYTHING. Switch them around, so that you have
shipmentRequest.Shipment = shipment;
shipmentRequest.Shipment.ShipmentServiceOptions.LabelDelivery.LabelLinksIndicator = "1";

The element needs to get passed as <LabelLinksIndicator/> in the XML. In your sample you'd be sending it as <LabelLinksIndicator>1</LabelLinksIndicator> which is invalid.

EWS - How to search for items [message] between dates?

I am trying to search for message items between two dates from the inbox folder.

There is some messages between the mentionned dates ;-)

I found the answer on my own after a long search about date format.
The restrictions has to be defined as this:
// greater or equal to
string dateStart = DateTime.Today.add(-6d);
string dateEnd = DateTime.Today.Add(1d);
PathToUnindexedFieldType dateSentPath = new PathToUnindexedFieldType();
dateSentPath.FieldURI = UnindexedFieldURIType.itemDateTimeSent;
IsGreaterThanOrEqualToType IsGreaterThanOrEqual = new IsGreaterThanOrEqualToType();
IsGreaterThanOrEqual.Item = dateSentPath;
FieldURIOrConstantType dateConstant = new FieldURIOrConstantType();
ConstantValueType dateConstantValue = new ConstantValueType();
dateConstantValue.Value = string.Format("{0}-{1}-{2}T00:00:00Z", dateStart.Year.ToString(), dateStart.Month.ToString(), dateStart.Day.ToString());
dateConstant.Item = dateConstantValue;
IsGreaterThanOrEqual.FieldURIOrConstant = dateConstant;
// less than or equal to
PathToUnindexedFieldType dateSentPath1 = new PathToUnindexedFieldType();
dateSentPath1.FieldURI = UnindexedFieldURIType.itemDateTimeSent;
IsLessThanOrEqualToType lessThanOrEqualTo = new IsLessThanOrEqualToType();
lessThanOrEqualTo.Item = dateSentPath1;
FieldURIOrConstantType dateConstant1 = new FieldURIOrConstantType();
ConstantValueType dateConstantValue1 = new ConstantValueType();
dateConstantValue1.Value = string.Format("{0}-{1}-{2}T00:00:00Z", dateEnd.Year.ToString(), dateEnd.Month.ToString(), dateEnd.Day.ToString());
dateConstant1.Item = dateConstantValue1;
lessThanOrEqualTo.FieldURIOrConstant = dateConstant1;
RestrictionType restriction = new RestrictionType();
AndType andType = new AndType();
andType.Items = new SearchExpressionType[] { lessThanOrEqualTo, IsGreaterThanOrEqual };
restriction.Item = andType;
findItemRequest.Restriction = restriction;
Hope this help someone some day ;-)

In case anyone stumbles upon this in the future, EWS has gotten even more strict about date formatting. The accepted answer formatting works for 2 digit months, but it does not for single digit months.
The formatting that works in all cases is:
DateTime.Today.AddDays(15).ToString("yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ssZ")

The restriction also works using the "Sortable date/time pattern".
Datetime.Now.ToString("s")
