Create a DbSet dynamically in Entity Framework?

Question

In LINQ to SQL, I can create a repository dynamically using DataContext.GetTable. Is there a similar way to do this in Entity Framework 4 other than de

Answer 1

This is my aproach:

    public static List GetCollection()
    {
        List lstDynamic = null;

        using (MyDbContext db = new MyDbContext())
        {
            DbSet mySet = db.Set(typeof(T));
            mySet.Load();
            var list = mySet.Local.Cast();

            lstDynamic = list.ToList();
        }
        return lstDynamic;
     }

And you call this function as:

List lst = StaticClass.GetCollection();

This returns your entire collection. I used this to perform a cache functionality for basic tables which don't change its content very often.
