Update single field using EF - entity-framework

Question

I need to update a single field 'status' using EF..
View:
#model IEnumerable<DemoUserMeetings.Models.Meeting>
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table class="table">
<tr>
<th>#Html.DisplayNameFor(m => m.MeetingFromId)</th>
<th>#Html.DisplayNameFor(m => m.MeetingToId)</th>
<th>#Html.DisplayNameFor(m => m.MeetingStartTime)</th>
<th>#Html.DisplayNameFor(m => m.MeetingEndTime)</th>
<th>#Html.DisplayNameFor(m => m.MeetingStatus)</th>
<th>#Html.DisplayNameFor(m => m.MeetingDescription)</th>
<th></th>
</tr>
#foreach (var item in Model)
{
<tr>
<td>#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.MeetingFromId)</td>
<td>#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.MeetingToId)</td>
<td>#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.MeetingStartTime)</td>
<td>#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.MeetingEndTime)</td>
<td>#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.MeetingStatus)</td>
<td>#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.MeetingDescription)</td>
<td>
<input type="button" class="btn btn-default btnAccept" value="Delete" id="#item.MeetingId" />
</td>
</tr>
}
Logout
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.btnAccept').click(function () {
var update_id = $(this).attr('id');
var isTrue = confirm("Accept meeting invite?");
if (isTrue) {
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("AcceptMeeting","Home")',
type: 'POST',
data: { id: update_id },
success: function () {
alert('success');
},
error: function () {
alert('failed');
return false;
}
});
} else {
return false;
}
});
</script>
Controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult AcceptMeeting(int id)
{
// Here i need to set status ="Accept" for particular id
return View();
}
that is what i tried, i want to update status of meeting having id to "Accepted". I know it is not a big thing but i am new to EF. i got the id of meeting in controller but dont know further process. any ideas?

Answer 1

try this
using (var db = new YourDBContext())
{
var meeting= context.Meeting.Find(id);
meeting.MeetingStatus = true;
db.Meeting.Attach(meeting);
db.SaveChanges();
}
