Question

I am using Entity Framework with self-tracking POCO objects. How do I know whether an object has been loaded in the DBContext or not, without making a query… what I want to know is: The object is loaded in memory or not?

All my objects have public virtual int Id {get;set;} representing the key.

Thanks!

To check if entity is tracked by your context you can use something like this:

bool tracked = context.ChangeTracker
                      .Entries<YourEntityType>()
                      .Any(e => e.Entity.Id == yourId);
