Entity Framework: AsNoTracking for included child entities-CodePudding

If I use AsNoTracking on the top-level entity, does it get applied to all the child entities?

So for example, if I write like this

context.FirstEntity.AsNoTracking()
    .Include(f => f.ChildEntity_1)
    .ThenInclude(c => c.ChildEntity_1_1)
    .Include(f => f.ChildEntitiy_2);

Will the AsNoTracking be applied to all the child entities automatically since it is applied to the top-level entity?

context.FirstEntity.AsNoTracking()
    .Include(f => f.ChildEntity_1).AsNoTracking()
    .ThenInclude(c => c.ChildEntity_1_1).AsNoTracking()
    .Include(f => f.ChildEntitiy_2).AsNoTracking();

Or I have to call the function separately for all the child entities too, like this?

CodePudding user response：

AsNoTracking causes the entire query to not be tracked. This includes any child entities that might be returned by the query.
