Exclude certain column from Entity Framework select statment [duplicate]

Answer 1

Create a DTO with all the properties you need except the image property:

public class YourDTO
{
    public string YourProperty1 { get; set; }
    public string YourProperty2 { get; set; }
    // etc
}

You can then do:

var productDto = context.Products
                        .Where(x => x.Id == productId)
                        .Select(x => new YourDTO {
                            YourProperty1 = x.dbProperty1,
                            YourProperty2 = x.dbProperty2        
                            // etc, don't include the image column
                        });

Update:

If you don't want to map the results to YourDTO, you can project into an anonymous type:

var product = context.Products
                     .Where(x => x.Id == productId)
                     .Select(x => new {
                         x.dbProperty1,
                         x.dbProperty2        
                         // etc, don't include the image column
                     });

...and if you want to provide a custom name for each of the properties of the anonymous type:

var product = context.Products
                     .Where(x => x.Id == productId)
                     .Select(x => new {
                         YourProperty1 = x.dbProperty1,
                         YourProperty2 = x.dbProperty2        
                         // etc, don't include the image column
                     });
