这是我的代码，工作得很好。

public async Task<bool> UpdateDeviceShutdownAsync(Guid id, DateTime shutdownAtTime, int areaID, decimal mileage,
        decimal motohours, int driverID, List<int> commission,
        string shutdownPlaceDescr, int deviceShutdownTypeID, string deviceShutdownDesc,
        bool isTransportation, string violationConditions, DateTime shutdownStartTime,
        DateTime shutdownEndTime, string notes, List<Guid> faultIDs )
        {
            try
            {
                using (var db = new GJobEntities())
                {
                    var isExisting = await db.DeviceShutdowns.FirstOrDefaultAsync(x => x.ID == id);

                    if (isExisting != null)
                    {
                        isExisting.AreaID = areaID;
                        isExisting.DriverID = driverID;
                        isExisting.IsTransportation = isTransportation;
                        isExisting.Mileage = mileage;
                        isExisting.Motohours = motohours;
                        isExisting.Notes = notes;                    
                        isExisting.DeviceShutdownDesc = deviceShutdownDesc;
                        isExisting.DeviceShutdownTypeID = deviceShutdownTypeID;
                        isExisting.ShutdownAtTime = shutdownAtTime;
                        isExisting.ShutdownEndTime = shutdownEndTime;

                        // Delete children
                        foreach (var existingChild in isExisting.DeviceShutdownFaults.ToList())
                        {
                            db.DeviceShutdownFaults.Remove(existingChild);
                        }

                        if (faultIDs != null && faultIDs.Any())
                        {
                            foreach (var faultItem in faultIDs)
                            {
                                var newChild = new DeviceShutdownFault
                                {
                                    ID = Guid.NewGuid(),
                                    DDFaultID = faultItem,
                                    DeviceShutdownID = isExisting.ID,
                                };

                                isExisting.DeviceShutdownFaults.Add(newChild);
                            }
                        }

                        // Delete all children
                        foreach (var existingChild in isExisting.DeviceShutdownComissions.ToList())

                            {
                                var newChild = new DeviceShutdownComission
                                {

                                    PersonalID = cItem,
                                    DeviceShutdownID = isExisting.ID,
                                };

                                isExisting.DeviceShutdownComissions.Add(newChild);
                            }
                        }

                        await db.SaveChangesAsync();

                        return true;
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

            return false;
        }

好男人。我曾经有过这个答案，但后来又失去了。当你知道有更好的方法，但却想不起来或找不到时，绝对是一种折磨!这很简单。我只是用多种方法测试了一下。

var parent = _dbContext.Parents
  .Where(p => p.Id == model.Id)
  .Include(p => p.Children)
  .FirstOrDefault();

parent.Children = _dbContext.Children.Where(c => <Query for New List Here>);
_dbContext.Entry(parent).State = EntityState.Modified;

_dbContext.SaveChanges();

你可以用一个新的列表替换整个列表!SQL代码将根据需要删除和添加实体。你不必为那件事操心。确保包含子集合，否则就没有骰子。好运！

这不是最优雅的方法，但很有效。干杯!

var entity = await context.Entities.FindAsync(id);

var newEntity = new AmazingEntity() {
  p1 = child1
  p2 = child2
  p3 = child3.child4 //... nested collections
};

if (entity != null) 
{
  db.Entities.Remove(entity);
}

db.Entities.Add(newEntity);

await db.SaveChangesAsync();

记住去掉PK。

var child4 = Tools.CloneJson(deepNestedElement);
child4.id = 0;
child3.Add(child4);


public static class Tools
{
  public static JsonSerializerSettings jsonSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings {
    ObjectCreationHandling = ObjectCreationHandling.Replace,
    ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore
  }; 

  public static string JSerialize<T>(T source) {       
    return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(source, Formatting.Indented, jsonSettings);
  }

  public static T JDeserialize<T>(string source) {       
    return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(source, jsonSettings);
  }

  public static T CloneJson<T>(this T source)
  { 
    return CloneJson<T, T>(source);
  }

  public static TOut CloneJson<TIn, TOut>(TIn source)
  { 
    if (Object.ReferenceEquals(source, null))      
      return default(TOut);      
    return JDeserialize<TOut>(JSerialize(source));
  }
}

这个应该可以了……

private void Reconcile<T>(DbContext context,
    IReadOnlyCollection<T> oldItems,
    IReadOnlyCollection<T> newItems,
    Func<T, T, bool> compare)
{
    var itemsToAdd = new List<T>();
    var itemsToRemove = new List<T>();

    foreach (T newItem in newItems)
    {
        T oldItem = oldItems.FirstOrDefault(arg1 => compare(arg1, newItem));

        if (oldItem == null)
        {
            itemsToAdd.Add(newItem);
        }
        else
        {
            context.Entry(oldItem).CurrentValues.SetValues(newItem);
        }
    }

    foreach (T oldItem in oldItems)
    {
        if (!newItems.Any(arg1 => compare(arg1, oldItem)))
        {
            itemsToRemove.Add(oldItem);
        }
    }

    foreach (T item in itemsToAdd)
        context.Add(item);

    foreach (T item in itemsToRemove)
        context.Remove(item);
}

VB。NET开发人员使用这个通用子标记子状态，易于使用

注: PromatCon:实体对象 amList:要添加或修改的子列表 rList:要删除的子列表

updatechild(objCas.ECC_Decision, PromatCon.ECC_Decision.Where(Function(c) c.rid = objCas.rid And Not objCas.ECC_Decision.Select(Function(x) x.dcid).Contains(c.dcid)).toList)

Sub updatechild(Of Ety)(amList As ICollection(Of Ety), rList As ICollection(Of Ety))
        If amList IsNot Nothing Then
            For Each obj In amList
                Dim x = PromatCon.Entry(obj).GetDatabaseValues()
                If x Is Nothing Then
                    PromatCon.Entry(obj).State = EntityState.Added
                Else
                    PromatCon.Entry(obj).State = EntityState.Modified
                End If
            Next
        End If

        If rList IsNot Nothing Then
            For Each obj In rList.ToList
                PromatCon.Entry(obj).State = EntityState.Deleted
            Next
        End If
End Sub

PromatCon.SaveChanges()

So, I finally managed to get it working, although not fully automatically. Notice the AutoMapper <3. It handles all the mapping of properties so you don't have to do it manually. Also, if used in a way where it maps from one object to another, then it only updates the properties and that marks changed properties as Modified to EF, which is what we want. If you would use explicit context.Update(entity), the difference would be that entire object would be marked as Modified and EVERY prop would be updated. In that case you don't need tracking but the drawbacks are as mentioned. Maybe that's not a problem for you but it's more expensive and I want to log exact changes inside Save so I need correct info.

            // We always want tracking for auto-updates
            var entityToUpdate = unitOfWork.GetGenericRepository<Article, int>()
                .GetAllActive() // Uses EF tracking
                .Include(e => e.Barcodes.Where(e => e.Status == DatabaseEntityStatus.Active))
                .First(e => e.Id == request.Id);

            mapper.Map(request, entityToUpdate); // Maps it to entity with AutoMapper <3
            ModifyBarcodes(entityToUpdate, request);

            // Removed part of the code for space

            unitOfWork.Save();

ModifyBarcodes部分在这里。 我们希望以一种EF跟踪不会被打乱的方式修改集合。 不幸的是，AutoMapper映射会创建一个全新的集合实例，因此会搞砸跟踪，尽管，我很确定它应该工作。 无论如何，因为我从FE发送完整的列表，在这里我们实际上决定了应该添加/更新/删除什么，只是处理列表本身。 由于EF跟踪是打开的，EF处理它就像一个魅力。

            var toUpdate = article.Barcodes
                .Where(e => articleDto.Barcodes.Select(b => b.Id).Contains(e.Id))
                .ToList();

            toUpdate.ForEach(e =>
            {
                var newValue = articleDto.Barcodes.FirstOrDefault(f => f.Id == e.Id);
                mapper.Map(newValue, e);
            });

            var toAdd = articleDto.Barcodes
                .Where(e => !article.Barcodes.Select(b => b.Id).Contains(e.Id))
                .Select(e => mapper.Map<Barcode>(e))
                .ToList();

            article.Barcodes.AddRange(toAdd);

            article.Barcodes
                .Where(e => !articleDto.Barcodes.Select(b => b.Id).Contains(e.Id))
                .ToList()
                .ForEach(e => article.Barcodes.Remove(e));


CreateMap<ArticleDto, Article>()
            .ForMember(e => e.DateCreated, opt => opt.Ignore())
            .ForMember(e => e.DateModified, opt => opt.Ignore())
            .ForMember(e => e.CreatedById, opt => opt.Ignore())
            .ForMember(e => e.LastModifiedById, opt => opt.Ignore())
            .ForMember(e => e.Status, opt => opt.Ignore())
            // When mapping collections, the reference itself is destroyed
            // hence f* up EF tracking and makes it think all previous is deleted
            // Better to leave it on manual and handle collecion manually
            .ForMember(e => e.Barcodes, opt => opt.Ignore())
            .ReverseMap()
            .ForMember(e => e.Barcodes, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.Barcodes.Where(e => e.Status == DatabaseEntityStatus.Active)));
