Batch Update protected properties and classes

Batch Update protected properties and classes

It would be nice to be able to do batch updates on protected (or private) properties and classes.

For example, say we have a Planet entity:

public class Planet
{
    protected Planet() { }
    public string Status { get; protected set; }
}

I would like to run something like this:

respository
    .Query<Planet>()
    .Where(x => x.Status == "LAME")
    .Update(x => new Planet { Status = "AWESOME" });

... but I can't because Planet and Status are inaccessible to their protection level.

Hello @dochoffiday ,

Thank you for reporting, we will look at it very soon to make it works with either a dictionary and/or an anonymous type

respository
    .Query<Planet>()
    .Where(x => x.Status == "LAME")
    .Update(x => new { Status = "AWESOME" });

respository
    .Query<Planet>()
    .Where(x => x.Status == "LAME")
    .Update(dict);

Best Regards,

Jonathan

Hello @dochoffiday ,

Just to let you know, the feature is now available in EF Extensions. You can now use anonymous type in the UpdateFromQuery part.

We are currently merging both codes (Batch Update from EF Plus and EF Extensions) together. So it should be soon available on EF Plus as well. We try hard to make it happen for next week.
