Update Single Column In Entity Framework

« Perfect reference to get started with EntityFramework 4.1 | Why I believe software development should be like amazon kindle development » Update Single Column In Entity Framework by Vahid 29. April 2011 18:00 I was working with Entity Framework and I needed to update a single column of a row in the database. basically I was logging the users visit to a web site (ASP.NET). so first time user lands in the website I create a record in database and keep the id in the session. when user’s session times out I needed to update the row and set the exit time of the user. it sounded a bit difficult to do this with Entity Framework I did it this way and worked pretty well: ...
