Get entity by type in Entity Framework

Question

I have a type which is stored in an Entity table.

I want to get all records by type.

My method like this :

public void read(Type tablename)
{
    // read data in context by type
}

I use this code but it doesn't work :

var test = new CmsContext().Set(_tableName);

Answer 1

Query will not execute until you use it's results, for example, by enumerating them to a list.

using System.Linq;

...

using(var ctx = new CmsContext())
{
    var allEntitiesInSet = ctx.Set(_tableName).ToList();
}
