Question

I could have sworn that there was an extension method already built for the Queryable class that I just can’t find, but maybe I’m thinking of something different.

I’m looking for something along the lines of:

IQueryable<Entity> en = from e in IDB.Entities select e; en.ForEach(foo => foo.Status = 'Complete'); 

en.Foreach() would essential perform:

foreach(Entity foo in en){    foo.Status = 'Complete'; } 

Is this already written? If not, is it possible to write said Extension Method, preferably allowing for any LINQ Table and any Field on that table. Where is a good place to start?

Answer 1

There is a foreach on a List<>. Roughly something along these lines:

IQueryable<Entity> en = from e in IDB.Entities select e; en.ToList().ForEach(foo => foo.status = 'Complete');
