Update specific fields in Entity Framework

Viewed 20092

I have a model:

public class VR
{
    [Key]
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public string FullName { get; set; }
    public string CreatedBy { get; set; }
    public DateTime? Created { get; set; }
    public string ModifiedBy { get; set; }
    public DateTime? Modified { get; set; }
}

My controller's Edit function:

    // POST: VRs/Edit/5
    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public IActionResult Edit(VR vR)
    {
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            var Result = (from c in _context.MyVR.Where(c => c.ID == vR.ID) select c).Single();

            vR.Created = Result.Created;
            vR.CreatedBy = Result.CreatedBy;
            vR.ModifiedBy = User.Identity.Name;
            vR.Modified = DateTime.Now;
        
            _context.Update(vR);
            _context.SaveChanges();
            return RedirectToAction("Index");
        }
        return View(vR);
    }

and I get the error below:

The instance of entity type 'UNTest.ViewModels.VR' cannot be tracked because another instance of this type with the same key is already being tracked. For new entities consider using an IIdentityGenerator to generate unique key values.
