实体框架DbContext如何从数据库（使用绑定）获取更新？

Question

I'm trying to develop a multi-user application that basically would have a list of some items. Each user is doing some CRUD operations to this list. I need that users see changes to list when other users make some changes.

I thought binding is what I need, but according to information in msdn, DbContext is a Unit of Work/Repository... does this mean that it is not possible for DbContext to read updates from data base automatically?

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.entity.dbcontext(v=vs.103).aspx

Is there a way to get the desired result using Entity Framework?

[EDIT] Is the only way to get updates from database is to use timer with additional code to reload data from database? Is this the only option for real-time apps?

DataBinding means a binding between UI and your Objects and not Objects to DataBase.

You need to call a Reload/Refresh method to get the latest database values. Like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16872305/i-do-not-understand-how-ef5-dbcontext-entryentity-reload-method-is-supposed
