Find a specified generic DbSet in a DbContext dynamically when I have an entity

Question

I have following classes and DbContext:

public class Order:BaseEntity
{
   public Number {get; set;}
}
Product:BaseEntity;
{
  public Name {get; set;} 
}

public class Context : DbContext
{
    ....
    public DbSet<Order> Orders { set; get; }
    public DbSet<Product> Products { set; get; }
    ....
}   

I have a list of objects that want to add to my context, too, but I don't know how can I find appropriate generic DbSet according each entity type dynamically.

IList<BaseEntity> list = new List<BaseEntity>();
Order o1 = new Order();
o1.Numner = "Ord1";
list.Add(o1);

Product p1 = new Product();
p1.Name = "Pencil";
list.Add(p1);

Context cntx = new Context();  
foreach (BaseEntity entity in list)
{
      cntx.Set<?>().Add(entity);         
}

How can I do that?

Answer 1

DbContext has a method called Set, that you can use to get a non-generic DbSet, such as:

var someDbSet = this.Set(typeof(SomeEntity));

So in your case:

foreach (BaseEntity entity in list)
{
      cntx.Set(entity.GetType()).Add(entity);         
}
