Why does the ObjectStateManager property not exist in my db context?

Question

I need to return a list of newly added objects from my database context.

I have read that i have to use ObjectStateManager for this purpos. The problem is, that my database context does not have the ObjectStateManager property.

The context works fine for retrivieing, adding and updating objects though.

I am using EF 5.0

<section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" /> 

What can i do?

Answer 1

Try this:

var manager = ((IObjectContextAdapter)dbContext).ObjectContext.ObjectStateManager; 

Answer 2

Try this:

dbContext.Entry(entity).State = EntityState.Modified;
