Generic Repository with EF 5.0 is not working - entity-framework

Question

I have a generic repository for my Entities, all my entities (generated by the Code generation Item) have a personalized partial that implements an IID interface, at this point all of my entites must have a Int32 Id property.
So, my problems is with the update, here is my code
public class RepositorioPersistencia<T> where T : class
{
public static bool Update(T entity)
{
try
{
using (var ctx = new FisioKinectEntities())
{
// here a get the Entity from the actual context
var currentEntity = ctx.Set<T>().Find(((BLL.Interfaces.IID)entity).Id);
var propertiesFromNewEntity = entity.GetType().GetProperties();
var propertiesFromCurrentEntity = currentEntity.GetType().GetProperties();
for (int i = 0; i < propertiesFromCurrentEntity.Length; i++)
{
//I'am trying to update my current entity with the values of the new entity
//but this code causes an exception
propertiesFromCurrentEntity[i].SetValue(currentEntity, propertiesFromNewEntity[i].GetValue(entity, null), null);
}
ctx.SaveChanges();
return true;
}
}
catch
{
return false;
}
}
}
Someone can help me? this driving me crazy.

You can use the EF API to update the values of an entity as follows.
public static bool Update(T entity)
{
try
{
using (var ctx = new FisioKinectEntities())
{
var currentEntity = ctx.Set<T>().Find(((BLL.Interfaces.IID)entity).Id);
var entry = ctx.Entry(currentEntity);
entry.CurrentValues.SetValues(entity);
ctx.SaveChanges();
return true;
}
}
catch
{
return false;
}
}
