Changetracker.entries returning new entries
A ChangeTracker
in Entity Framework Core!
ChangeTracker.Entries
returns a collection of EntityEntry
objects that represent the changes made to entities in the context. When you call Entries
on a ChangeTracker
, it returns a snapshot of the changes made to the entities in the context.
If you're seeing new entries returned from Entries
, it's likely because the context has been updated with new changes since the last time you called Entries
. Here are a few possible reasons why this might be happening:
- New entities have been added: If you've added new entities to the context using
Add
orAddRange
, those entities will be included in theEntries
collection. - Existing entities have been modified: If you've modified existing entities in the context, those changes will be reflected in the
Entries
collection. - The context has been refreshed: If the context has been refreshed or reloaded from the database, the
Entries
collection may contain new changes.
To get the new entries, you can simply call Entries
again on the ChangeTracker
. If you want to get only the new entries, you can use the Added
or Modified
properties on the ChangeTracker
to filter the results:
var newEntries = changeTracker.Entries()
.Where(e => e.State == EntityState.Added || e.State == EntityState.Modified);
This will give you a collection of EntityEntry
objects that represent the new or modified entities in the context.
If you're trying to track changes to specific entities, you can use the Entries
method with a lambda expression to filter the results:
var newEntries = changeTracker.Entries<MyEntity>()
.Where(e => e.State == EntityState.Added || e.State == EntityState.Modified);
This will give you a collection of EntityEntry
objects that represent the new or modified MyEntity
entities in the context.
