How to access EF's DbContext from EFObjectSpace

created 9 years ago (modified 9 years ago)

Hi,

is there a possibility to access the instance of DbContext that ObjectSpace uses internally? I know how to access the ObjectContext, but I need functionality Microsoft introduced for DbContext particularly.

Regards,
Sebastian

    Hi Sebastian,

    EFObjectSpace does not expose a DbContext instance, but there might be a way to access it. I am going to discuss your question with our developers, but need to clarify your requirements first. Perhaps, we can suggest an alternative way of fullfilling them. Please describe which DbContext functionality you want to use and why. This information will help us to provide you with the most appropriate solution.

      Hi Uriah,

      I think that is already the answer that I needed! If there is no easy way to access it, I can probably always use DbContext's ctr accepting an ObjectContext. So that's fine.

      Cheers

        Hi Sebastian,

        This is a nice and working approach. I also found that a similar question was answered on StackOverflow. Since this information might be helpful to others, I have changed the subject heading of this ticket and described the approach you are suggesting in the Solution section.

        According to this MSDN article, it is possible to create a DbContext instance wrapping an existing ObjectContext. This makes it possible to take advantage of DbContext features in an XAF application. The implementation details were discussed in this thread: How do I construct a DbContext from an ObjectContext.
