How to force Entity Framework to Always Load Fresh copy of Data from the Database
Solution:
There are many solution to achieve this result.
The most popular and easiest one is to dispose the existing context object and create new one
entities.Dispose();
entities = new Entities(); // DbContext
but it is not optimal you are disposing whole context which could be very expensive.
Optimal Solution:
Db.Entry(item).Reload(); // Db here means DbContext
this will only load the entity (item) you passed from the database and if you changed the item before reload, after reload the change will be overwritten by the values coming from database.
