EntityFramework 4.1 Extensions for batch Delete and Update

A great library that extends the functionality of EF. It provides the features to do batch updates, delete and future queries and audit log.

PM> Install-Package EntityFramework.Extended

Use the Package Manager Console in VS2010 to install it. And you can find the source in Github.

http://nuget.org/packages/EntityFramework.Extended

https://github.com/loresoft/EntityFramework.Extended

Make sure you import the Extensions namespace. Then you will see the extension methods of batch delete/update. Here are a few lines of code to demonstrate how to delete, update.

using EntityFramework.Extensions;

context.Users.Delete(u => u.FirstName == "firstname");

context.Tasks.Update(
    t => t.StatusId == 1, 
    t => new Task {StatusId = 2});
 

For future query usage, you can use an IQueryable as the filter for the update

var users = context.Users
   .Where(u => u.FirstName == "firstname");

context.Users.Update(
   users, 
   u => new User {FirstName = "newfirstname"})

Pretty cool is it! To read more documentations go to the github site. https://github.com/loresoft/EntityFramework.Extended
