Entity Framework: How to disable lazy loading for specific query?

Question

Is there any way to disable lazy loading for specific query on Entity Framework 6? I want to use it regularly, but sometimes I want to disable it. I\'m using virtual propert

Answer 1

Suppose you have this:

IOrderedQueryable<Private.Database.DailyItem> items;
using (var context = new Private.Database.PrivateDb())
{
    context.Configuration.LazyLoadingEnabled = false;
    items = context.DailyItem.OrderBy(c => c.sortOrder).OrderByDescending(c => c.isFavorite);
}

You'd still get lazy loading, despite the explicit setting of not to. The fix is easy, change it to this:

List<Private.Database.DailyItem> items;
using (var context = new Private.Database.PrivateDb())
{
    // context.Configuration.LazyLoadingEnabled = false;
    items = context.DailyItem.OrderBy(c => c.sortOrder).OrderByDescending(c => c.isFavorite).ToList();
}
