Entity Framework Code First - No Detach() method on DbContext

Question

I\'m wondering why there is no Detach method on the DbContext object like there is for ObjectContext.  I can only assume this omission was intentional, but I have a hard tim

Answer 1

I usually extend the base class(inherits from the DbContext) with the property:

public class MyDbContext : DbContext
{
    public ObjectContext ThisObjectContext
    {
        get
        {
            return ((IObjectContextAdapter)this).ObjectContext;
        }
    }
}

later you can use this property for variety of useful stuff ... like Detach :)
