Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property ObjectTrackingEnabled As Boolean

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true to enable object tracking; otherwise, false. The default is true.

Remarks

For information about using a local database in your Windows Phone application, see Local Database Overview for Windows Phone.

Setting this property to false improves performance at retrieval time, because there are fewer items to track.

An exception is thrown:

  • If the property is set to false after a query has been executed.

    For more information, see the Valid Modes section in DataContext.

  • If the property is set to false and SubmitChanges is called.

If ObjectTrackingEnabled is false, DeferredLoadingEnabled is ignored and treated as false. In this case, the DataContext is read-only.

If ObjectTrackingEnabled is true, DeferredLoadingEnabled is false. In this case, DataContext allows you to load an object graph by using LoadWith directives, but does not enable deferred loading.
