对于庞大和复杂的对象图，使用自我跟踪实体是否有效？

Question

1) Since self-tracking entities do not support lazy loading, are they intended to be used with not-so-big entities graphs because of efficiency?

2) Which solution do you suggest instead of using self-tracking entities? DTOs?

thanks!

Answer 1

No, that's not a good conclusion. Lazy loading is convenient but can also become a performance problem, with small graphs as well as big.

There is no substitute for a good design that will limit the # of records required.
