how do i disable Caching in Entity Framework from Config file

Question

I am running into some problems where huge objects occupy memory and the reference is not being released. I used .Net Memory Profiler to find out the root object and it references to Entity Framework class.

Is there a way i can disable the caching of queried objects in Entity framework without chanign the code? Something in the config file may be?

Why you should not use static context. In case of server application or multithreaded application change should not with must not. — Ladislav Mrnka

You should have using statements to help dispose you ObjectContext. EF keeps an object graph of the queried objects. I think you could use objectContext.Detach(Entity); to detach your entities from the ObjectContext.

+1: The Entity Framework contexts are IDisposable, and you should expect that they will consume a lot of resources if they are not disposed of quickly.

what if i say my EF object context is in a Static class? Does this raise the red flag?

I would think so, because every object you load will stay loaded for the life of the application. IMO Your context should be created, as little data pulled into it as needed, and then thrown away when finished.

@Asdfg, Yes a big red flag. Please see the following links for more detailed exp. stackoverflow.com/questions/1990876/… , stackoverflow.com/questions/1785119/…
