MVC2 RTM - model binding complex objects using Entity Framework

Question

I am new to MVC, and am really struggling with what I seems like it should be a very common scenario. I\'m using MVC2 RTM, and the Entity Framework for my model objects.

Ultimately I found a more elegant solution, but never came back to post it. Here it is - sorry for the delay:

if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            if (TryUpdateModel(parent, new[] "prop1", "prop2", "prop3" })) //specify parent-only properties to include
            {
                if (TryUpdateModel(parent.ChildObjects, "ChildObjects"))
                {
                    _ef.SaveChanges();
                    return RedirectToAction("Details", new { id = parent.ID })                    }
            }
        }
        return View(parent);

I'm converting this code from a real life app, so my apologies for any typos.
