Setting the update timestamp in Entity Framework

Here's an implementation of the other two ideas, with the following considerations

• Ensure that you either create proxies that automatically detect changes, or that you have manually detected changes, prior to the call to SaveChanges(). If not, the object state will be EntityState.Unmodified, and the last modified timestamp will not be updated.
• I have expanded the code to also set the last modified timestamp when the object is first created (EntityState.Added)

The Code

public interface IHasLastModified
{
    DateTime? LastModified { get; set; }
}

public class MyClass : IHasLastModified
{
    public virtual int Id { get; set; }

    public virtual string SomeOtherProperty { get; set; }

    public virtual DateTime? LastModified { get; set; }
}

public class MyContext : DbContext
{
    public override int SaveChanges()
    {            
        DateTime now = DateTime.UtcNow;
        foreach (ObjectStateEntry entry in (this as IObjectContextAdapter).ObjectContext.ObjectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntries(EntityState.Added | EntityState.Modified))
        {
            if (!entry.IsRelationship)
            {
                IHasLastModified lastModified = entry.Entity as IHasLastModified;
                if (lastModified != null)
                    lastModified.LastModified = now;
            }
        }

        return base.SaveChanges();
    }
