虽然我已经晚了，但这就是我所做的，我花了一段时间去寻找一个让我满意的解决方法;当你通过“白名单”概念显式地定义它们是什么时，这只会为更改的字段生成一个UPDATE语句，这更安全，可以防止web表单注入。

摘自我的ISession数据存储库:

public bool Update<T>(T item, params string[] changedPropertyNames) where T 
  : class, new()
{
    _context.Set<T>().Attach(item);
    foreach (var propertyName in changedPropertyNames)
    {
        // If we can't find the property, this line wil throw an exception, 
        //which is good as we want to know about it
        _context.Entry(item).Property(propertyName).IsModified = true;
    }
    return true;
}

如果您愿意，可以将其封装在try. catch中，但我个人希望调用者了解此场景中的例外情况。

它将以类似这样的方式被调用(对我来说，这是通过ASP。NET Web API):

if (!session.Update(franchiseViewModel.Franchise, new[]
    {
      "Name",
      "StartDate"
  }))
  throw new HttpResponseException(new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.NotFound));

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();
    }
}

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.

在实体框架核心中，Attach返回条目，所以你所需要的是:

var user = new User { Id = userId, Password = password };
db.Users.Attach(user).Property(x => x.Password).IsModified = true;
db.SaveChanges();

结合几项建议，我提出如下:

    async Task<bool> UpdateDbEntryAsync<T>(T entity, params Expression<Func<T, object>>[] properties) where T : class
    {
        try
        {
            var entry = db.Entry(entity);
            db.Set<T>().Attach(entity);
            foreach (var property in properties)
                entry.Property(property).IsModified = true;
            await db.SaveChangesAsync();
            return true;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("UpdateDbEntryAsync exception: " + ex.Message);
            return false;
        } 
    }

被

UpdateDbEntryAsync(dbc, d => d.Property1);//, d => d.Property2, d => d.Property3, etc. etc.);

或通过

await UpdateDbEntryAsync(dbc, d => d.Property1);

或通过

bool b = UpdateDbEntryAsync(dbc, d => d.Property1).Result;
