<p>When I enter an object into the DB with Linq-to-SQL can I get the id that I just inserted without making another db call?  I am assuming this is pretty easy, I just don't know how.  </p>

After you commit your object into the db the object receives a value in its ID field.
So:
```
```
myObject.Field1 = "value";

// Db is the datacontext
db.MyObjects.InsertOnSubmit(myObject);
db.SubmitChanges();

// You can retrieve the id from the object
int id = myObject.ID;
```
```
