Copy ObjectContext ?
Copy ObjectContext ?
- Hi,
is it feasible to make a functioning copy an ObjectContext with its ObjectStateManager state and tracked entities,
and if so, what is a good way to do this ?
Many thanks
Graham

- It is possible to do this, but I wouldn't say that it's really feasible. There's nothing in the box to do it. If you wanted to write the code yourself, you would need to iterate over the information in the source ObjectStateManager and then recreate things in the target. The trick is recreating the original values and such which is harder than it looks on the surface.
