06-Sep-2023You can also use the Entity Framework to retrieve an entity by name using the
Find
method of the DbContext class. TheFind
method takes an entity name of the entity as a parameter and returns an object of that entity type.The following code gets an entity by name:
C#
where
Entity
is the name of the entity type andname
is the name of the entity.The find method returns null. If the entity does not exist.
Here are some other things to keep in mind when getting entities by name using Entity Framework:
Where
operator to filter the query result.OrderBy
operator to order the query result.Take
andSkip
operators to paginate the query result.Here is an example of how to get an entity by name in Entity Framework Core:
C#
In this example, we first create a DbContext called
MyContext
. Then use theFind
method to get the entity namedname
. Finally, we print the name of the entity.
