C# 11 and .NET 7 – Modern Cross-Platform Development Fundamentals - Seventh Edition

4.2 (5)
By: Mark J. Price

Overview of this book

Extensively revised to accommodate the latest features that come with C# 11 and .NET 7, this latest edition of our guide will get you coding in C# with confidence. You’ll learn object-oriented programming, writing, testing, and debugging functions, implementing interfaces, and inheriting classes. Next, you’ll take on .NET APIs for performing tasks like managing and querying data, working with the filesystem, and serialization. As you progress, you’ll also explore examples of cross-platform projects you can build and deploy, such as websites and services using ASP.NET Core. Instead of distracting you with unnecessary graphical user interface code, the first eleven chapters will teach you about C# language constructs and many of the .NET libraries through simple console applications. Having mastered the basics, you’ll then start building websites, web services, and browser apps. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to create rich web experiences and have a solid grasp of object-oriented programming that you can build upon.

Modifying data with EF Core

Inserting, updating, and deleting entities using EF Core is an easy task to accomplish.

DbContext maintains change tracking automatically, so the local entities can have multiple changes tracked, including adding new entities, modifying existing entities, and removing entities.

When you are ready to send those changes to the underlying database, call the SaveChanges method. The number of entities successfully changed will be returned.

Inserting entities

Let’s start by looking at how to add a new row to a table:

  1. Add a new class file named Program.Modifications.cs.
  2. In Program.Modifications.cs, create a partial Program class with a method named ListProducts that outputs the ID, name, cost, stock, and discontinued properties of each product sorted with the costliest first, and highlights any that match an array of int values that can be optionally passed to the method, as shown in the following code:
