How to stop entity framework caching

Question

We're having a problem testing Entity Framework 4.

We've deployed a WCF service that implements an EF data context. All works fine untill we modify the data using SQL server studio.

Is there a way to stop EF caching our results or is there any way to turn eager loading on?

Cheers,

James

Answer 1

On the property sheet for your model, you can set the Lazy Loading Enabled property.

Through code, you can control lazy loading with the ObjectContextOptions.LazyLoadingEnabled property:

context.ContextOptions.LazyLoadingEnabled = false;

Answer 2

In EF4 I had to use this instead:

_context.Configuration.LazyLoadingEnabled = false;
