difference between 'context.savechanges' and 'usermanager.updateuser' is?

Question

User297437924 posted

I've been porting code from membership to identity, and using sample code from various Microsoft projects.  (I've been doing this for 2 weeks, but there is now light at the end of the tunnel.)

I sometimes see 'context.savechanges' in the code I borrow.

It does not compile.

Can I replace it by:  usermanager.updateuser(theuser)?

Are they the same thing?

Thanks.

Commonly context is the instance name of the DbContext.

UserManager is commonly the instance name of the Identity's UserManager API.  UserManager uses the DbContext to interact with the database.
