假设我们有如下数据，

var items = new List<string>({"123", "456", "789"});
// Like 123 value get updated to 123ABC ..

如果我们想修改列表并将列表中的现有值替换为修改后的值，那么首先创建一个新的空列表，然后通过调用每个列表项上的修改方法来遍历数据列表，

var modifiedItemsList = new List<string>();

items.ForEach(i => {
  var modifiedValue = ModifyingMethod(i);
  modifiedItemsList.Add(items.AsEnumerable().Where(w => w == i).Select(x => modifiedValue).ToList().FirstOrDefault()?.ToString()) 
});
// assign back the modified list
items = modifiedItemsList;

不，LINQ不支持大规模更新。唯一更短的方法是使用ForEach扩展方法-为什么IEnumerable上没有ForEach扩展方法?

引用Adi Lester的回答(https://stackoverflow.com/a/5755487/8917485)

我很喜欢这个答案，但这个答案有一个错误。它只是改变一个新创建的列表中的值。它必须更改为两行才能读取真正的更改列表。

var aList = collection.ToList();
aList.ForEach(c => c.PropertyToSet = value);

你可以使用Magiq，一个LINQ的批处理操作框架。

我写了一些扩展方法来帮助我解决这个问题。

我是这样使用的:

        List<int> exampleList = new List<int>()
            {
                1, 2 , 3
            };

        //2 , 3 , 4
        var updated1 = exampleList.Change(x => x + 1);

        //10, 2, 3
        var updated2 = exampleList
            .ChangeWhere(   changeItem => changeItem * 10,          // change you want to make
                            conditionItem => conditionItem < 2);    // where you want to make the change

        //1, 0, 0
        var updated3 = exampleList
            .ChangeExcept(changeItem => 0,                          //Change elements to 0
                          conditionItem => conditionItem == 1);     //everywhere but where element is 1
