I’m using EF 4.0 with VS2010. I have 2 clients running my applicaion.
When I save the changes in one client, I see them in the SQL server, but the 2nd client doesn’t see them.
I need to restart the application to see the changes.
I’m using a Data layer for all the DB stuff, I leave my connection open all the time (as suggest in some post I read) might it be the problem??? any workaround I can’t write the DL from scratch again.

    By default if an entity is loaded to the context that instance is returned when you query the database for a set of entities which will include the above entity.

    You need to set the MergeOption to OverwriteChanges to get the changes in the database.

    context.Products.MergeOption = MergeOption.OverwriteChanges;
var products = context.Products.Where(/**/);

    Its better to create short lived to contexts to avoid such problems.
