DbContext caching

Question

I know the caching of DbContext is not good idea. But I would like to do it fine. What do you think about this way?

public class Context : DbContext
{
    pr         


        

Answer 1

The DbContext is a cache. Keeping hold of it for a long time is a terrible idea... it will slowly consume your application's memory hanging on to data that may well be stale.

It was not designed to be used in the way you propose.

Don't do it.

A DbContext is a transient object that should be used and disposed of in the smallest scope possible.

 using(var ctx = new MyDbContext())
 {
      //make some changes
      ctx.SaveChanges();
 }

That's how it was designed to be used. Use it properly.
