Should Entity Framework Context be Put into Using Statement?

Question

The Entity Framework context object implements a Dispose() method which \"Releases the resources used by the object context\". What does it do really? Could it be a bad thin

Answer 1

When you dispose, the ObjectContext disposes other owned objects.

Including things like the EntityConnection which wraps the actual database connection, i.e. generally a SqlConnection.

So 'if' the SqlConnection is open it will be closed when you dispose the ObjectContext.
