这是实体框架6.2.0。

如果你有一个特定的DbSet和一个需要更新或创建的项:

var name = getNameFromService();

var current = _dbContext.Names.Find(name.BusinessSystemId, name.NameNo);
if (current == null)
{
    _dbContext.Names.Add(name);
}
else
{
    _dbContext.Entry(current).CurrentValues.SetValues(name);
}
_dbContext.SaveChanges();

但是，这也可以用于具有单个主键或复合主键的通用DbSet。

var allNames = NameApiService.GetAllNames();
GenericAddOrUpdate(allNames, "BusinessSystemId", "NameNo");

public virtual void GenericAddOrUpdate<T>(IEnumerable<T> values, params string[] keyValues) where T : class
{
    foreach (var value in values)
    {
        try
        {
            var keyList = new List<object>();

            //Get key values from T entity based on keyValues property
            foreach (var keyValue in keyValues)
            {
                var propertyInfo = value.GetType().GetProperty(keyValue);
                var propertyValue = propertyInfo.GetValue(value);
                keyList.Add(propertyValue);
            }

            GenericAddOrUpdateDbSet(keyList, value);
            //Only use this when debugging to catch save exceptions
            //_dbContext.SaveChanges();
        }
        catch
        {
            throw;
        }
    }
    _dbContext.SaveChanges();
}

public virtual void GenericAddOrUpdateDbSet<T>(List<object> keyList, T value) where T : class
{
    //Get a DbSet of T type
    var someDbSet = Set(typeof(T));

    //Check if any value exists with the key values
    var current = someDbSet.Find(keyList.ToArray());
    if (current == null)
    {
        someDbSet.Add(value);
    }
    else
    {
        Entry(current).CurrentValues.SetValues(value);
    }
}

这段代码是一个测试的结果，该测试只更新了一组列，而没有首先进行查询以返回记录。它首先使用实体框架7代码。

// This function receives an object type that can be a view model or an anonymous 
// object with the properties you want to change. 
// This is part of a repository for a Contacts object.

public int Update(object entity)
{
    var entityProperties =  entity.GetType().GetProperties();   
    Contacts con = ToType(entity, typeof(Contacts)) as Contacts;

    if (con != null)
    {
        _context.Entry(con).State = EntityState.Modified;
        _context.Contacts.Attach(con);

        foreach (var ep in entityProperties)
        {
            // If the property is named Id, don't add it in the update. 
            // It can be refactored to look in the annotations for a key 
            // or any part named Id.

            if(ep.Name != "Id")
                _context.Entry(con).Property(ep.Name).IsModified = true;
        }
    }

    return _context.SaveChanges();
}

public static object ToType<T>(object obj, T type)
{
    // Create an instance of T type object
    object tmp = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType(type.ToString()));

    // Loop through the properties of the object you want to convert
    foreach (PropertyInfo pi in obj.GetType().GetProperties())
    {
        try
        {
            // Get the value of the property and try to assign it to the property of T type object
            tmp.GetType().GetProperty(pi.Name).SetValue(tmp, pi.GetValue(obj, null), null);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            // Logging.Log.Error(ex);
        }
    }
    // Return the T type object:         
    return tmp;
}

以下是完整的代码:

public interface IContactRepository
{
    IEnumerable<Contacts> GetAllContats();
    IEnumerable<Contacts> GetAllContactsWithAddress();
    int Update(object c);
}

public class ContactRepository : IContactRepository
{
    private ContactContext _context;

    public ContactRepository(ContactContext context)
    {
        _context = context;
    }

    public IEnumerable<Contacts> GetAllContats()
    {
        return _context.Contacts.OrderBy(c => c.FirstName).ToList();
    }

    public IEnumerable<Contacts> GetAllContactsWithAddress()
    {
        return _context.Contacts
            .Include(c => c.Address)
            .OrderBy(c => c.FirstName).ToList();
    }   

    //TODO Change properties to lambda expression
    public int Update(object entity)
    {
        var entityProperties = entity.GetType().GetProperties();

        Contacts con = ToType(entity, typeof(Contacts)) as Contacts;

        if (con != null)
        {
            _context.Entry(con).State = EntityState.Modified;
            _context.Contacts.Attach(con);

            foreach (var ep in entityProperties)
            {
                if(ep.Name != "Id")
                    _context.Entry(con).Property(ep.Name).IsModified = true;
            }
        }

        return _context.SaveChanges();
    }

    public static object ToType<T>(object obj, T type)
    {
        // Create an instance of T type object
        object tmp = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType(type.ToString()));

        // Loop through the properties of the object you want to convert
        foreach (PropertyInfo pi in obj.GetType().GetProperties())
        {
            try
            {
                // Get the value of the property and try to assign it to the property of T type object
                tmp.GetType().GetProperty(pi.Name).SetValue(tmp, pi.GetValue(obj, null), null);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                // Logging.Log.Error(ex);
            }
        }
        // Return the T type object
        return tmp;
    }
}    

public class Contacts
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public string Company { get; set; }
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public Addresses Address { get; set; }    
}

public class Addresses
{
    [Key]
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string AddressType { get; set; }
    public string StreetAddress { get; set; }
    public string City { get; set; }
    public State State { get; set; }
    public string PostalCode { get; set; }  
}

public class ContactContext : DbContext
{
    public DbSet<Addresses> Address { get; set; } 
    public DbSet<Contacts> Contacts { get; set; } 
    public DbSet<State> States { get; set; }

    protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
    {
        var connString = "Server=YourServer;Database=ContactsDb;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true;";
        optionsBuilder.UseSqlServer(connString);
        base.OnConfiguring(optionsBuilder);
    }
}

对于。net core

context.Customer.Add(customer);
context.Entry(customer).State = Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.EntityState.Modified;
context.SaveChanges();

以下是我的后ria实体更新方法(Ef6时间框架):

public static void UpdateSegment(ISegment data)
{
    if (data == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("The expected Segment data is not here.");

    var context = GetContext();

    var originalData = context.Segments.SingleOrDefault(i => i.SegmentId == data.SegmentId);
    if (originalData == null) throw new NullReferenceException("The expected original Segment data is not here.");

    FrameworkTypeUtility.SetProperties(data, originalData);

    context.SaveChanges();
}

注意FrameworkTypeUtility.SetProperties()是我在NuGet上AutoMapper之前写的一个小工具函数:

public static void SetProperties<TIn, TOut>(TIn input, TOut output, ICollection<string> includedProperties)
    where TIn : class
    where TOut : class
{
    if ((input == null) || (output == null)) return;
    Type inType = input.GetType();
    Type outType = output.GetType();
    foreach (PropertyInfo info in inType.GetProperties())
    {
        PropertyInfo outfo = ((info != null) && info.CanRead)
            ? outType.GetProperty(info.Name, info.PropertyType)
            : null;
        if (outfo != null && outfo.CanWrite
            && (outfo.PropertyType.Equals(info.PropertyType)))
        {
            if ((includedProperties != null) && includedProperties.Contains(info.Name))
                outfo.SetValue(output, info.GetValue(input, null), null);
            else if (includedProperties == null)
                outfo.SetValue(output, info.GetValue(input, null), null);
        }
    }
}

你应该删除db.Books.Attach(book);

这里是这个问题的最佳解决方案:在视图中添加所有的ID(键)。考虑将多个表命名为(First, Second和Third)

@Html.HiddenFor(model=>model.FirstID)
@Html.HiddenFor(model=>model.SecondID)
@Html.HiddenFor(model=>model.Second.SecondID)
@Html.HiddenFor(model=>model.Second.ThirdID)
@Html.HiddenFor(model=>model.Second.Third.ThirdID)

在c#代码中，

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Edit(First first)
{
  if (ModelState.Isvalid)
  {
    if (first.FirstID > 0)
    {
      datacontext.Entry(first).State = EntityState.Modified;
      datacontext.Entry(first.Second).State = EntityState.Modified;
      datacontext.Entry(first.Second.Third).State = EntityState.Modified;
    }
    else
    {
      datacontext.First.Add(first);
    }
    datacontext.SaveChanges();
    Return RedirectToAction("Index");
  }

 return View(first);
}
