Using of Object Reference in Entity Framework

I want to create new object with the FK reference on the entity in onother table. It's just a simple create view but i don't know how to reference the Research entity with ID == id.

    public ActionResult Create(int id)
    {
        SurveyPaper surveyPaper = new SurveyPaper();

        return View(surveyPaper);
    } 

    [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
    public ActionResult Create(int id, FormCollection collection)
    {
        var surveyPaper = new SurveyPaper();

        try {
            UpdateModel(surveyPaper);
            surveyPaper.Research.ResearchID = id;
            _r.AddSurveyPaper(surveyPaper);

            return RedirectToAction("Details", new { id = surveyPaper.SurveyPaperID });
        }
        catch {
           return View(surveyPaper);
        }
    }

From stackoverflow

• In .NET 3.5 SP 1:

  // obviously, substitute your real entity set and context name below
  surveyPaper.ResearchReference.EntityKey =
     new EntityKey("MyEntities.ResearchEntitySetName", "ResearchID", id);
  

  In .NET 4.0, use FK associations instead.

  Ante B. : should i do this in data layer or in controler?

  Craig Stuntz : IMHO the controller really would do better to avoid having knowledge of the EF. So for the 3.5 solution, avoid doing it in the controller. OTOH, the 4.0 solution would work either place, as FK associations aren't really so EF-specific.

  Ante B. : tnx man, this really helps!
