LINQ to Entities how to update a record
//for update
(from x in dataBase.Customers
where x.Name == "Test"
select x).ToList().ForEach(xx => xx.Name="New Name");
//for delete
dataBase.Customers.RemoveAll(x=>x.Name=="Name");
Just modify one of the returned entities:
Customer c = (from x in dataBase.Customers
where x.Name == "Test"
select x).First();
c.Name = "New Name";
dataBase.SaveChanges();
Note, you can only update an entity (something that extends EntityObject, not something that you have projected using something like select new CustomObject{Name = x.Name}
