DbSet doesn't have a Find method in EF7

Question

I am trying to create a generic repository to access my database. In EF6 I was able to do that in order to get a specific entity:

protected IDbSet d

In case you are using EF 7.0.0-rc1-final, below you find a small update for the code presented by @bricelam in the previous answer. By the way, thank you very much @bricelam - your code was extremely useful for me.

Here are my dependencies under "project.config":

"dependencies": {
    "EntityFramework.Commands": "7.0.0-rc1-final",
    "EntityFramework.MicrosoftSqlServer": "7.0.0-rc1-final",
    "Microsoft.Framework.Configuration.Json": "1.0.0-beta8",
    "Microsoft.Framework.ConfigurationModel": "1.0.0-beta4",
    "Microsoft.Framework.ConfigurationModel.Json": "1.0.0-beta4",
    "Microsoft.Framework.DependencyInjection": "1.0.0-beta8"
}

And below is the extension method for DbSet.Find(TEntity):

using Microsoft.Data.Entity;
using Microsoft.Data.Entity.Infrastructure;
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Linq.Expressions;

namespace Microsoft.Data.Entity.Extensions
{
    public static class Extensions
    {
        public static TEntity Find(this DbSet set, params object[] keyValues) where TEntity : class
        {
            var context = ((IInfrastructure)set).GetService();

            var entityType = context.Model.FindEntityType(typeof(TEntity));
            var key = entityType.FindPrimaryKey();

            var entries = context.ChangeTracker.Entries();

            var i = 0;
            foreach (var property in key.Properties)
            {
                entries = entries.Where(e => e.Property(property.Name).CurrentValue == keyValues[i]);
                i++;
            }

            var entry = entries.FirstOrDefault();
            if (entry != null)
            {
                // Return the local object if it exists.
                return entry.Entity;
            }

            // TODO: Build the real LINQ Expression
            // set.Where(x => x.Id == keyValues[0]);
            var parameter = Expression.Parameter(typeof(TEntity), "x");
            var query = set.Where((Expression>)
                Expression.Lambda(
                    Expression.Equal(
                        Expression.Property(parameter, "Id"),
                        Expression.Constant(keyValues[0])),
                    parameter));

            // Look in the database
            return query.FirstOrDefault();
        }
    }
}
