public void ChangePassword(int userId, string password)
{
  var user = new User{ Id = userId, Password = password };
  using (var db = new DbContextName())
  {
    db.Entry(user).State = EntityState.Added;
    db.SaveChanges();
  }
}

我用这个:

实体:

public class Thing 
{
    [Key]
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Info { get; set; }
    public string OtherStuff { get; set; }
}

数据库上下文：

public class MyDataContext : DbContext
{
    public DbSet<Thing > Things { get; set; }
}

访问器代码:

MyDataContext ctx = new MyDataContext();

// FIRST create a blank object
Thing thing = ctx.Things.Create();

// SECOND set the ID
thing.Id = id;

// THIRD attach the thing (id is not marked as modified)
db.Things.Attach(thing); 

// FOURTH set the fields you want updated.
thing.OtherStuff = "only want this field updated.";

// FIFTH save that thing
db.SaveChanges();

Ladislav的答案更新为使用DbContext(在EF 4.1中引入):

public void ChangePassword(int userId, string password)
{
    var user = new User() { Id = userId, Password = password };
    using (var db = new MyEfContextName())
    {
        db.Users.Attach(user);
        db.Entry(user).Property(x => x.Password).IsModified = true;
        db.SaveChanges();
    }
}

在寻找这个问题的解决方案时，我在Patrick Desjardins的博客上找到了GONeale的答案:

public int Update(T entity, Expression<Func<T, object>>[] properties)
{
  DatabaseContext.Entry(entity).State = EntityState.Unchanged;
  foreach (var property in properties)
  {
    var propertyName = ExpressionHelper.GetExpressionText(property);
    DatabaseContext.Entry(entity).Property(propertyName).IsModified = true;
  }
  return DatabaseContext.SaveChangesWithoutValidation();
}

如你所见，它的第二个参数是a的表达式 函数。这将允许通过在Lambda中指定使用此方法 表示要更新哪个属性。”

...Update(Model, d=>d.Name);
//or
...Update(Model, d=>d.Name, d=>d.SecondProperty, d=>d.AndSoOn);

(这里也给出了一个类似的解决方案:https://stackoverflow.com/a/5749469/2115384)

我目前在自己的代码中使用的方法，扩展到处理类型ExpressionType.Convert的(Linq)表达式。这在我的例子中是必要的，例如Guid和其他对象属性。它们被“包装”在Convert()中，因此没有被System.Web.Mvc.ExpressionHelper.GetExpressionText处理。

public int Update(T entity, Expression<Func<T, object>>[] properties)
{
    DbEntityEntry<T> entry = dataContext.Entry(entity);
    entry.State = EntityState.Unchanged;
    foreach (var property in properties)
    {
        string propertyName = "";
        Expression bodyExpression = property.Body;
        if (bodyExpression.NodeType == ExpressionType.Convert && bodyExpression is UnaryExpression)
        {
            Expression operand = ((UnaryExpression)property.Body).Operand;
            propertyName = ((MemberExpression)operand).Member.Name;
        }
        else
        {
            propertyName = System.Web.Mvc.ExpressionHelper.GetExpressionText(property);
        }
        entry.Property(propertyName).IsModified = true;
    }

    dataContext.Configuration.ValidateOnSaveEnabled = false;
    return dataContext.SaveChanges();
}

新的EF Core 7原生功能- ExecuteUpdate:

终于!经过漫长的等待，EF Core 7.0现在有一个本地支持的方式来运行UPDATE(也删除)语句，同时还允许您使用任意的LINQ查询(。其中(u =>…))，而无需首先从数据库中检索相关实体:新的内置方法称为ExecuteUpdate -参见“EF Core 7.0有什么新功能?”

ExecuteUpdate正是针对这些场景的，它可以对任何IQueryable实例进行操作，并允许您在任意数量的行上更新特定的列，同时始终在幕后发出单个update语句，使其尽可能高效。

用法:

让我们以OP为例——即更新特定用户的密码列:

dbContext.Users
    .Where(u => u.Id == someId)
    .ExecuteUpdate(b =>
        b.SetProperty(u => u.Password, "NewPassword")
    );

如您所见，调用ExecuteUpdate需要调用SetProperty方法，以指定要更新的属性，以及要给它赋什么新值。

EF Core会将此转换为以下UPDATE语句:

UPDATE [u]
    SET [u].[Password] = "NewPassword"
FROM [Users] AS [u]
WHERE [u].[Id] = someId

另外，ExecuteDelete用于删除行:

ExecuteUpdate还有一个名为ExecuteDelete的对应程序，顾名思义，它可用于一次删除单个或多个行，而无需首先获取它们。

用法:

// Delete users that haven't been active in 2022:
dbContext.Users
    .Where(u => u.LastActiveAt.Year < 2022)
    .ExecuteDelete();

类似于ExecuteUpdate, ExecuteDelete将在幕后生成DELETE SQL语句——在本例中，是以下语句:

DELETE FROM [u]
FROM [Users] AS [u]
WHERE DATEPART(year, [u].[LastActiveAt]) < 2022

另注:

Keep in mind that both ExecuteUpdate and ExecuteDelete are "terminating", meaning that the update/delete operation will take place as soon as you call the method. You're not supposed to call dbContext.SaveChanges() afterwards. If you're curious about the SetProperty method, and you're confused as to why ExectueUpdate doesn't instead receive a member initialization expression (e.g. .ExecuteUpdate(new User { Email = "..." }), then refer to this comment (and the surrounding ones) on the GitHub issue for this feature. Furthermore, if you're curious about the rationale behind the naming, and why the prefix Execute was picked (there were also other candidates), refer to this comment, and the preceding (rather long) conversation. Both methods also have async equivalents, named ExecuteUpdateAsync, and ExecuteDeleteAsync respectively.

我使用valueinjector nuget注入绑定模型到数据库实体使用如下:

public async Task<IHttpActionResult> Add(CustomBindingModel model)
{
   var entity= await db.MyEntities.FindAsync(model.Id);
   if (entity== null) return NotFound();

   entity.InjectFrom<NoNullsInjection>(model);

   await db.SaveChangesAsync();
   return Ok();
}

注意使用自定义约定，如果属性在服务器上为空，则不更新属性。

ValueInjecter v3 +

public class NoNullsInjection : LoopInjection
{
    protected override void SetValue(object source, object target, PropertyInfo sp, PropertyInfo tp)
    {
        if (sp.GetValue(source) == null) return;
        base.SetValue(source, target, sp, tp);
    }
}

用法:

target.InjectFrom<NoNullsInjection>(source);

警告

您将不知道该属性是被故意清除为null还是它只是没有任何值。换句话说，属性值只能被替换为另一个值，而不能被清除。
