Entity Framework: How to disable lazy loading for specific query?

Question

Is there any way to disable lazy loading for specific query on Entity Framework 6? I want to use it regularly, but sometimes I want to disable it. I\'m using virtual propert

Answer 1

I might be missing something here, but rather than changing the configuration each time, might another approach be to use .Include() on only those queries where you want to eager load?

Suppose we have a Product class which has a navigation property to a Colour class, you might load the Colour for a Product like this -

var product = _context.Products
    .Where(p => p.Name == "Thingy")
        .Include(x => x.Colours)
        .ToList();
