update multiple elements at once LINQ

Question

Is it possible to set property on each element from List using LINQ.

for example:

var users = from u in context.Users where u.Name == \"George\" sele         


        

Answer 1

Looks dirty but if asked (just via select), I'll do it this way

var users = from u in context.Users where u.Name == "George" 
select new User() 
{
   prop1 = u.prop1,
   prop2 = u.prop2,
   prop3 = true // update like here
};

if you wish to use some other C# function, you can also use linq functions and work on IEnumerable type of lists.

var users = context.Users.Where(u => u.Name == "George").ToList()
    .Select(p => new User() 
    {
       prop1 = p.prop1,
       prop2 = p.prop2,
       prop3 = ComputeHash(p) // update like here
    });

Code above becomes IEnumerable because of the .ToList() prior to the .Select()
