Entity Framework 5 Updating a Record

Question

I have been exploring different methods of editing/updating a record within Entity Framework 5 in an ASP.NET MVC3 environment, but so far none of them tick all of the boxes

Answer 1

Just to add to the list of options. You can also grab the object from the database, and use an auto mapping tool like Auto Mapper to update the parts of the record you want to change..
