c# working with Entity Framework in a multi threaded server

Typically the ObjectContext shouldn't be used globally throughout the application. You should create new ObjectContexts frequently and dispose old ones. They certainly aren't threadsafe either. If you continue to use the same ObjectContext (depending on the lifetime of your application) it is easy to get an out of memory exception if you modify massive amounts of data since references to entities that you change are held by the object context.
