EntityReference的EntityKey属性值不匹配?

我正在尝试添加我创建的一些实体。当我尝试将有问题的实体添加到集合中(请参见下面的代码)时,会出现以下错误:

“无法添加或附加对象,因为其EntityReference的EntityKey属性值与此对象的EntityKey不匹配。”

我不知道它指的是什么实体键。下面是代码,可能还有更好的方法来实现这一点:

public Internship CreateInternship(Internship internshipToCreate)
{
    try
    {
        Contact contactToCreate = new Contact();

        contactToCreate.Fax = internshipToCreate.contacts.Fax;
        contactToCreate.Extension = internshipToCreate.contacts.Extension;
        contactToCreate.FirstName = internshipToCreate.contacts.FirstName;
        contactToCreate.MiddleName = internshipToCreate.contacts.MiddleName;
        contactToCreate.LastName = internshipToCreate.contacts.LastName;
        contactToCreate.PhoneNumber = internshipToCreate.contacts.PhoneNumber;
        contactToCreate.StreetAddress = internshipToCreate.contacts.StreetAddress;
        contactToCreate.PostalCode = internshipToCreate.contacts.PostalCode;
        contactToCreate.ContactEmail = internshipToCreate.contacts.ContactEmail;

        contactToCreate.statesReference.EntityKey =
                    new EntityKey("InternshipEntities.StateSet", "ID", internshipToCreate.contacts.states.ID);
        contactToCreate.countriesReference.EntityKey =
                    new EntityKey("InternshipEntities.CountrySet", "ID", internshipToCreate.contacts.countries.ID);

        _internshipEntities.AddToContactSet(contactToCreate);
        _internshipEntities.SaveChanges();

        try
        {
            Availability availabilityToCreate = new Availability();

            availabilityToCreate.StartDate = internshipToCreate.availability.StartDate;
            availabilityToCreate.EndDate = internshipToCreate.availability.EndDate;
            availabilityToCreate.Negotiable = internshipToCreate.availability.Negotiable;

            _internshipEntities.AddToAvailabilitySet(availabilityToCreate);
            _internshipEntities.SaveChanges();

            try
            {
                internshipToCreate.contactsReference.EntityKey =
                    new EntityKey("InternshipEntities.ContactSet", "ID", contactToCreate.ID);
                internshipToCreate.availabilityReference.EntityKey =
                    new EntityKey("InternshipEntities.AvailabilitySet", "ID", availabilityToCreate.ID);
                internshipToCreate.classificationsReference.EntityKey =
                    new EntityKey("InternshipEntities.ClassificationSet", "ID", internshipToCreate.classifications.ID);
                internshipToCreate.educationReference.EntityKey =
                    new EntityKey("InternshipEntities.EducationSet", "ID", internshipToCreate.education.ID);

                _internshipEntities.AddToInternshipSet(internshipToCreate); //exception here
                _internshipEntities.SaveChanges();

                return internshipToCreate;
            }
            catch(Exception e)
            {
                throw e; 
            }
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            throw e;
        }
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        throw e;
    }

}

当我跟踪时,除了错误之外,没有给出其他信息,所以我甚至不确定哪个键是问题所在。

    }
