Update a single field using Entity Framework

background Entity frameworks allow developers to interact with databases using object-oriented methods. When working with database tables, you may need to update only specific fields in the record.

Solutions To update only one field using Entity Framework, follow these steps:

1. Load the entity into the context: Retrieve the entity instance corresponding to the record to be updated.
2. Attach an entity to the context (optional): If the context has not tracked the entity, you need to attach it using Attach().
3. Modify the required fields: Access the field to be updated and set its new value.
4. Mark the field as modified: calls IsModified on the Entry property and sets it to true to indicate the field you modified.
5. Save changes: Call SaveChanges() on the context to submit the changes to the database.
