Cascade Update In Entity Framework

I have the following scenario involving 2 classes: public class Parent { [Key] public int Id {get;set;} //.. Other properties here public virtual IList Chil

Solution 1:

I believe entity framework does not have cascade update feature,

but I know hibernate has it.

however you could do something like overwritething method savechanges() in ApplicationDbContext class similar to cascade delete mentioned here

ApplicationDbContext : DbContext
    {
               publicoverrideintSaveChanges()
                  {
                  //sets child in ram memory  entity state to modified //if its parent entity state is modified each time you call SaveChanges()
                  Child.Local.Where(r => Entry(r.Parent).State == EntityState.Modified)
                 .ToList().ForEach(r => Entry(r).State=EntityState.Modified);

                  base.SaveChanges();
                  }
   }

I think this is what you are looking for, I have not tested this
