| Member | Description |
|---|---|
| None | Entities are not cached. Whenever you query entities, they are materialized from the result set. |
| StrongReference | Entity cache holds strong references to the entities. Unused entity objects are not garbage-collected till this DataContext instance exists. Note that this may lead to excessive memory consumption and stale entities if DataContext instances live for a long time. |
| WeakReference | Default behavior. Entity cache holds weak references to the entities. Unused entities are eventually garbage-collected from the cache. |
