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?

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.
