Trying to update table in asp.net - mysql

Question

Saving the change to a temp variable is successful as when debugging I can see the values changing, however when I actually try to save the changes to the database, the required field is not being changed.
I am trying to change the value of the field from 'Being Investigated' to 'Closed'
nemesysEntities db2 = new nemesysEntities();
report report = db2.reports.Find(investigation.report_id);
report_status rep = db2.report_status.Find(3);
report.report_status = rep;
report.report_status.description = "Closed";
report.report_status.id = 3;
db2.Entry(report).State= EntityState.Modified;
db2.SaveChanges();
The table that stores the reports is called reports, and investigation.report_id represents the id of the report being investigated. Hence by passing the report id as a value, the table should find the report in the reports table and change the value of the action status to Closed, by the below line of code, (the id of the action "closed" in the database is 3)
report_status rep = db2.report_status.Find(3);
However the required changes in the database are not being stored.
Any ideas??
This is the model of the report
namespace WebApplication2.Models
{
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Data.Entity.Validation;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Web;
public partial class report
{
public report()
{
this.investigations = new HashSet<investigation>();
HttpCookie _userId = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["User"];
string userId="";
nemesysEntities db = new nemesysEntities();
if(_userId!=null)
{
this.user_id = Convert.ToInt32(_userId["Id"]);
user temp=db.users.Find(user_id);
this.email = temp.email;
this.phone = temp.phone;
temp.ConfirmPassword = temp.password;
int i = temp.points;
i++;
temp.points = i;
db.Entry(temp).State = EntityState.Modified;
try
{
db.SaveChanges();
}
catch (DbEntityValidationException dbEx)
{
foreach (var validationErrors in dbEx.EntityValidationErrors)
{
foreach (var validationError in validationErrors.ValidationErrors)
{
Trace.TraceInformation("Property: {0} Error: {1}", validationError.PropertyName, validationError.ErrorMessage);
}
}
}
}
else
{
this.user_id = 13;
}
this.status_id = 1;
}
public int id { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Date of near miss")]
public System.DateTime date { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Location")]
public string location { get; set; }
[DisplayName("Type")]
public int type_id { get; set; }

}
This is the model of the investigator. You can see that in one of the setters I am using the same method I am attempting to use to change the status of the report.
namespace WebApplication2.Models

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

public partial class investigation
{
public investigation()
{
HttpCookie _userId = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["User"];
if (_userId != null)
{
this.investigator_id = Convert.ToInt32(_userId["Id"]);
//5 is the primary key of "Being investigated" in type of action
this.action_id = 5;
this.cause = "";
this.date_of_action = new DateTime(2012, 1, 3);
}
}
public int id { get; set; }
[Display (Name="Formal Description")]
public string formal_description { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Cause of Hazard")]
public string cause { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Action Take")]
public int action_id { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Date of Action")]
public System.DateTime date_of_action { get; set; }
public int investigator_id { get; set; }
int _report_id;
[Display(Name = "Report Id:")]
public int report_id
{
get
{
return _report_id;
}
set
{
_report_id = value;
nemesysEntities db = new nemesysEntities();
report report = db.reports.Find(this.report_id);
//2 is the primary key of "Being investigated" in report status
report_status rep = db.report_status.Find(2);
report.report_status = rep;
db.Entry(report).State = EntityState.Modified;
try
{
db.SaveChanges();
}
catch (DbEntityValidationException dbEx)
