Global setting for AsNoTracking()?

Question

Originally I believed that

context.Configuration.AutoDetectChangesEnabled = false;

would disable change tracking. But no. Cur

What about simply exposing method like this on your derived context and use it for queries:

public IQueryable GetQuery() where T : class {
    return this.Set().AsNoTracking();
}

Setting AsNoTracking globally is not possible. You must set it per each query or per each ObjectSet (not DbSet). The latter approach requires using ObjectContext API.

var objectContext = ((IObjectContextAdapter)dbContext).ObjectContext;
var set = objectContext.CreateObjectSet();
set.MergeOption = MergeOption.NoTracking;
// And use set for queries
