Hello dears,

I have a situation as follows:
I want to alter all get queries in my application to skip deleted records which is marked as deleted in DB.

Can i configure the context to exclude to do that instead of altering all queries?

Regards,
Amr

What I have tried:

i have searched a lot but i didn't get any result.
I 've also tried to edit all get queries but this will take a lot of time.

There might be something clever with EF that can do this, but generally these kind of things are handled by using a repository pattern which allows you to have a single point of code where a "get" is done (and other functions can use that function as a basis of their own queries) so filtering out deleted records is just a case of changing one method. However if your code is not using a repo pattern it's going to involve a lot of refactoring.

Yes but unfortunately i am not using repository pattern.

How much control do you have over your database, or your EF mapping?

You could simply create views in the database corresponding to each table, which filter out the soft-deleted records. You could then map your EF sets to the views instead of the underlying tables.

No, you have to alter your queries.
