c# entity framework: correct use of DBContext class inside your repository class

Question

I used to implement my repository classes as you can see below

public Class MyRepository
{
      private MyDbContext _context; 

      public MyRepository(My         


        

Answer 1

Basically DbContext class is nothing but a wrapper which handles all the database related stuffs like: 1. Create connection 2. Execute Query. Now if we do the above mentioned stuff using normal ado.net then we need to explicitly close the connection properly either by writing the code in using statement or by calling the close() method on connection class object.

Now, as the context class implements the IDisposable inteface internally, it is good practise to write the dbcontext in using statement so that we need not care about closing the connection.

Thanks.
