linq to sql datacontext for a web application

问题

I'm trying to use linq to sql for my project (very short deadline), and I'm kind of in a bind. I don't know the best way to have a data context handy per request thread.

I want something like a singleton class from which all my repository classes can access the current data context. However, singleton class is static and is not thread-safe and therefore not suitable for web apps. I want something that would create a data context at the beginning of the request and dispose of it along with the request.

Can anyone please share their solution to this problem? I've been searching for a solution and I've found a good post from Rick Strahl : http://www.west-wind.com/weblog/posts/246222.aspx but I don't completely understand his thread-safe or business object approach. If somebody has a simplified version of his thread-safe approach, i'd love to take a look.

回答1:

In the BeginRequest event of Global.asax you could store it in HttpContext.Current.Items which is sort of like a "session state" for the individual request. Each request gets it's own context so there's no threading issues if you are storing a new DataContext per request.

You can dispose it in the EndRequest event.

However this will not scale well if you are going to be creating the DataContext on every request even if it doesn't get used. Instead you could make a static method that does lazy initialization.

(Sorry, typing this code on an iPhone... I know...)

private static MyDataContext GetDataContext() {
    var dc = HttpContext.Current.Items["dc"] as MyDataContext;
    if (dc==null) {
        dc = new MyDataContext();
        HttpContext.Current.Items.Add("dc", dc);
    }
    return dc;
}
