My page calls a Services layer method that uses a Generic Repository "Find" method. In the services layer method, I do the following:
using (IUnitOfWork unitOfWork = new DBContext())
{
GenericRepository<Operator> operatorRepos = new GenericRepository<Operator>(unitOfWork);
{
try
{
var oper = operatorRepos.Find(o => o.OperatorID == operatorID).Include(o => o.cmn_Address).Single();
return oper;
}
catch (InvalidOperationException exc)
{
//handle exception
}
}
}
The Find method for my repository:
public IQueryable<T> Find(Func<T, bool> predicate)
{
return _objectSet.Where<T>(predicate).AsQueryable();
}
On the page, I try to access the cmn_address Navigation property of the Operator and I get the following error:
The ObjectContext instance has been disposed and can no longer be used for operations that require a connection.
I realize that this is caused by the using statement to dispose of the context, but I thought the Include method will eager load the cmn_Address object. I don't understand why this doesn't work as I expected.
