How to get original values of an entity in Entity Framework?

Question

In EF 4.0, if I understand it right, there are two type of values in Entity : current values and original values.
We can set original values by calling ApplyOriginalValues(TEntity) method but how to get original values ?

Answer 1

You can access them through ObjectStateEntry

var originalValues = context
         .ObjectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntry(myEntity).OriginalValues;
