Update operation in ADO Entity framework

Question

How do I do the Update table operation in ADO entity framweork ?

Answer 1

Entity Framework is currently limited to updates / deletes like this (in pseudo code):

DELETE FROM [Table] WHERE Key = Value

And you can't do things like this:

DELETE FROM [Table] WHERE [RANDOM CLAUSE]

The second example is what is generally called DML or Data Modification Language, and it isn't actually supported in EF.

There are workarounds however, see this question & my answer for more information.

Hope this helps Alex
