DbContext discard changes without disposing

Solution 1:

public void RejectChanges()
    {
        foreach (var entry in ChangeTracker.Entries())
        {
            switch (entry.State)
            {
                case EntityState.Modified:
                case EntityState.Deleted:
                    entry.State = EntityState.Modified; //Revert changes made to deleted entity.
                    entry.State = EntityState.Unchanged;
                    break;
                case EntityState.Added:
                    entry.State = EntityState.Detached;
                    break;
            }
        }
    }

Update:

Some users suggest to add .ToList() to avoid 'collection was modified' exception. But I believe there is a reason for this exception.

How do you get this exception? Probably, you are using context in non threadsafe manner.

Solution 2:

In the simple case of cancelling the changes made to properties of a single entity you can set the current values to the original values.

context.Entry(myEntity).CurrentValues.SetValues(context.Entry(myEntity).OriginalValues);
//you may also need to set back to unmodified -
//I'm unsure if EF will do this automatically
context.Entry(myEntity).State = EntityState.UnModified;

or alternatively reload (but results in db hit)

context.Entry(myEntity).Reload();
