SingleOrDefault method is used to get exactly one item or the default value (which is null in case the given type is a reference type) to be returned by a query from a database using Entity Framework Core.
using EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp.Models;
namespace EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp
{
public class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (var databaseContext = new DatabaseContext())
{
var productInfo = (from product in databaseContext.Products
where product.Id == 9
select product).SingleOrDefault();
Console.WriteLine("Id: " + productInfo.Id);
Console.WriteLine("Name: " + productInfo.Name);
Console.WriteLine("Price: " + productInfo.Price);
Console.WriteLine("Quantity: " + productInfo.Quantity);
Console.WriteLine("Description: " + productInfo.Description);
Console.WriteLine("Status: " + productInfo.Status);
Console.WriteLine("Photo: " + productInfo.Photo);
Console.WriteLine("Created: " + productInfo.Created.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy"));
Console.WriteLine("Category Id: " + productInfo.CategoryId);
}
}
}
}
