Entity fails on simulataneous AJAX posts - asp.net-mvc-3

Question

I have an action that updates the database based on a Jquery Droppable/Sortable. The first AJAX post works fine, but the second one gives me the error:
New transaction is not allowed because there are other
threads running in the session.
It's being posted to 2 separate actions on the same controller, using the same UnitOfWork in the controller. Not sure what I have to do to fix this.
EDIT: these are the two service methods being called:
public void NavItemSort(List<string> orderArray, string navID, string subNavID)
{
var newOrderArray = orderArray.Where(s => !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(s)).ToList();
var orderArrayIDs = newOrderArray.Select(x => x.Replace("ContentItem", "")).ToList();
var itemToBeSorted = Convert.ToInt32(orderArrayIDs.FirstOrDefault());
var itemContext = cmsUnitOfWork.NavigationItems.Find().Where(x => x.ID == itemToBeSorted).ToList().FirstOrDefault();
var currentSortOrder = cmsUnitOfWork.NavigationItems.Find()
.Where(x => x.NavID == itemContext.NavID &&
(itemContext.ParentID == null) ? x.ParentID == null :
x.ParentID == itemContext.ParentID).ToList();
var existingItems = currentSortOrder.Select(x => x.ID).ToList();
List<string> existingItemsString = existingItems.ConvertAll<string>(x => x.ToString()).ToList();
var newNavItemID = existingItemsString.Except(orderArray).FirstOrDefault();
var currentSortOrderExcept = currentSortOrder.Where(x => x.ID != Convert.ToInt32(newNavItemID));
foreach (var x in currentSortOrderExcept)
{
int sortOrderInt = orderArrayIDs.IndexOf(orderArrayIDs.Where(z => int.Parse(z) == x.ID).ToList().FirstOrDefault()) + 1;
NavigationItem navigationItem = new NavigationItem()
{
HasChild = x.HasChild,
Level = x.Level,
NavID = x.NavID,
ID = x.ID,
ParentID = x.ParentID,
PageID = x.PageID,
URL = x.URL,
Title = x.Title,
SortOrder = sortOrderInt,
};
if (navigationItem.SortOrder != null && navigationItem.SortOrder != 0)
{
cmsUnitOfWork.NavigationItems.Update(x, navigationItem);
}
}
cmsUnitOfWork.Commit();
}
public void NavItemAdd(List<string> orderArray, string NavID, string subNavID){
var newOrderArray = orderArray.Where(s => !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(s)).ToList();
var orderArrayIDs = newOrderArray.Select(x => x.Replace("ContentItem", "")).ToList();
NavID = NavID.Replace("nav", "");
int NavIDInt = int.Parse(NavID);
int subNavIDInt = int.Parse(subNavID);
var existingNavItems = cmsUnitOfWork.NavigationItems.Find().Where(x => x.NavID == NavIDInt && x.ParentID == subNavIDInt).ToList();
int currentSortOrder = 0;
if (existingNavItems.Count() != 0)
{
currentSortOrder = existingNavItems.Max(x => x.SortOrder);
}
var existingItems = existingNavItems.Select(x => x.ID).ToList();
List<string> existingItemsString = existingItems.ConvertAll<string>(x => x.ToString()).ToList();
var newNavItemID = orderArray.Except(existingItemsString).FirstOrDefault();
int newNavIDInt = int.Parse(newNavItemID);
var newNavItemList = cmsUnitOfWork.NavigationItems.Find().Where(x => x.ID == newNavIDInt).ToList();
var newNavItem = newNavItemList.FirstOrDefault();
var parentNav = cmsUnitOfWork.NavigationItems.Find().Where(x => x.ID == subNavIDInt).ToList().FirstOrDefault();
NavigationItem navigationItemUpdated = new NavigationItem()
{
ID = newNavItem.ID,
Level = 2,
NavID = NavIDInt,
PageID = newNavItem.PageID,
Title = newNavItem.Title,
URL = newNavItem.URL,
ParentID = subNavIDInt,
SortOrder = currentSortOrder + 1
};
cmsUnitOfWork.NavigationItems.Update(newNavItem, navigationItemUpdated);
cmsUnitOfWork.Commit();
}

Answer 1

I'm guessing you started a transaction against that context and you never dispose of it not commit it. Just a guess though as you didn't Los any code (please post code)

Answer 2

Maybe you have declared cmsUnitOfWork as static variable? Context must be created and destroyed on each request
