Fixing the "There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first." exception in Entity Framework

下面代码可能会报如标题所示错误

var contacts = from c in db.Contact
                select c;

foreach (Contact c in contacts) {
    if (c.Phones.IsLoaded == false)
        c.Phones.Load();

    if (c.Phones.Count > 0) {
        foreach (ContactPhone p in c.Phones){
        }
    }
}

Tip: 真正执行查询是在foreach语句执行时才发生，在之前只是建立查询。

 

解决办法：

1，修改连接串，加上MultipleActiveResultSets=true

  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="connectionStrings" connectionString="Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=xxx;uid=xx;pwd=xx;MultipleActiveResultSets=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
  </connectionStrings>

2, 一次性先把数据读出来

var contacts = from c in db.Contact
                select c;

List results = contacts.ToList();

foreach (Contact c in results){
}

提示：contacts.ToList() 的作用是强制加载contact列表，也就是先强制执行查询，再做后续处理。
