You can use the method DataServiceTransaction.updateItem(..) to update association properties as well. You need to create an instance of the parent object, fully populate the association property with the new values, then specify the property name (or names) you changed in the "changes" parameter. You can supply null for the previous item of course unless you want to do conflict detection.
We're adding better support for incremental updates of association properties in general in the next version.

If I have an object with nested collections, I know how to refresh the collection holding the parent object, but is there a way to refresh just the object OR just a collection inside the object. All my collections have association destinations, but the nested collections are filled automatically from the parent object and not from an explicit call that we make so I am not sure how best to refresh them manually if needed. I assume there is something basic here I am missing. Thanks, Kevin
