是EntityReference.Load检查EntityReference.IsLoaded？

Question

您好我想知道如果 EntityReference.Load 方法包括

If Not ref.IsLoaded Then ref.Load()

我的问题基本上是：

Dim person = Context.Persons.FirstOrDefault
person.AddressReference.Load()
person.AddressReference.Load() 'Does it do anything?

它再次装入。我通过探查证实这一点，它显示了两个查询。默认合并选项是MergeOption.AppendOnly，它不会再次查询阻止。从反射器的代码：

public override void Load(MergeOption mergeOption)
{
    base.CheckOwnerNull();
    ObjectQuery<TEntity> query = base.ValidateLoad<TEntity>(mergeOption, "EntityReference");
    base._suppressEvents = true;
    try
    {
        List<TEntity> collection = new List<TEntity>(RelatedEnd.GetResults<TEntity>(query));
        if (collection.Count > 1)
        {
            throw EntityUtil.MoreThanExpectedRelatedEntitiesFound();
        }
        if (collection.Count == 0)
        {
            if (base.ToEndMember.RelationshipMultiplicity == RelationshipMultiplicity.One)
            {
                throw EntityUtil.LessThanExpectedRelatedEntitiesFound();
            }
            if ((mergeOption == MergeOption.OverwriteChanges) || (mergeOption == MergeOption.PreserveChanges))
            {
                EntityKey entityKey = ObjectStateManager.FindKeyOnEntityWithRelationships(base.Owner);
                EntityUtil.CheckEntityKeyNull(entityKey);
                ObjectStateManager.RemoveRelationships(base.ObjectContext, mergeOption, (AssociationSet) base.RelationshipSet, entityKey, (AssociationEndMember) base.FromEndProperty);
            }
            base._isLoaded = true;
        }
        else
        {
            base.Merge<TEntity>(collection, mergeOption, true);
        }
    }
    finally
    {
        base._suppressEvents = false;
    }
    this.OnAssociationChanged(CollectionChangeAction.Refresh, null);
}

就为大家有没有发现接受的答案参考，下面是我为我的当前项目创建的扩展方法。

using System.Data.Objects.DataClasses;

namespace ProjectName
{
    public static class EntityFrameworkExtensions
    {
        public static void EnsureLoaded<TEntity>(this EntityReference<TEntity> reference)
            where TEntity : class, IEntityWithRelationships
        {
            if (!reference.IsLoaded)
                reference.Load();
        }
    }
}

和用法：

Patient patient = // get patient

patient.ClinicReference.EnsureLoaded();
patient.Clinic.DoStuff();
