Question

My sql statement is

update Gallery set IsPublished = 0 where GalleryId not in ('1','2');

how to convert this into linq

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You cannot UPDATE in a linq query. Your SELECT query can be something like:

List<int> ids = new List<int>() { 1, 2 }; // Assuming integers here
var galleriesToUpdate = context.Gallery
    .Where(g => !ids.contains(g.GalleryId)).ToList();

And then update them

foreach(var gallery in galleriesToUpdate) {
    gallery.IsPublished = 0;
}

And then save them using the context.

context.SubmitChanges();
