In the lasts months I’ve been working on a project where I use Entity Framework. For this project I was developing some extension methods that facilitate working with EFX. My favorites are:
- Include: allows to configure the eager load with expressions rather than strings.
- EnsureLoad: allows to load a collection or reference safely with lazy load.
- LoadByKey: If an object is in the context this method returns it. Otherwise return the object from the database.
- ToTraceQuery: similiar to .ToTraceString( ) but better :).
