I created this function to generate a handle (or slug , as you prefer) for the model users, the problem is that I would like to make it more "modular", so I can easily implement in any other model you also need to generate a handle .

The model, which is a partial .

public partial class users
{
    ...

    public void Handle()
    {
        ...
    }
}

The function:

public void Handle()
{
    int length;
    string handle;
    List<int> list = new List<int>();

    handle = Slugify.Make(this.first_name + " " + this.last_name);
    length = (handle + "-").Length;

    this.handle = handle;

    using (Entities db = new Entities())
    {
        List<string> handles = db.users.Where(p => p.handle.Contains(handle) || p.handle.StartsWith(handle + "-"))
            .Select(p => p.handle)
            .ToList();

        if (handles.Count == 0 || handles.Contains(handle) == false)
        {
            this.handle = handle;
            return;
        }

        if (handles.Contains(handle) && handles.Count == 1)
        {
            this.handle = handle + "-" + 1;
            return;
        }

        foreach (string index in handles)
        {
            if ((index + "-").Length > length)
                list.Add(int.Parse(index.Remove(0, length)));
        }

        list.Sort();

        int suffix = list.Last();
        this.handle = handle + "-" + (suffix + 1);
    }
}

So I created a separate class that would at first get the model parameter and then do basically what the Handle() function does, but in a "modular" way, for example:

Passing as a parameter:

users user = new users
{
    first_name = first_name,
    last_name = last_name,
    email = email,
    password = BCryptHelper.HashPassword(password, BCryptHelper.GenerateSalt(6))
    handle = Handle.Make(db.users, first_name + " " + last_name)
};

The function:

public class Handle
{
    public string Make(Type model, string handle)
    {
        db.Set<model>.Where(...) ...

        return handle;
    }
}

But I can not pass the model db.users as parameter without specifically determining that the type of this model is users .

I have tried public string Make(DbSet<dynamic> model... but also did not give ...

You can. Use generic:

public class Handle
{
    public string Make<T>(T model, string handle)
        where T: class
    {
        db.Set<T>.Where(...) ...

        return handle;
    }
}

EDIT

To parameterize Where , according to your comments, you need to define an interface for T :

public interface IHandle
{
    public string handle { get; set; }
}

So you can use Where :

public class Handle
{
    public string Make<T>(T model, string handle)
        where T: class, IHandle
    {
        db.Set<T>().Where(p => p.handle.Contains(handle) || p.handle.StartsWith(handle + "-"))

        return handle;
    }
}

The way to call the method looks like this:

Handle.Make(user, "Rafael Alexandre");

I believe that db is accessible within the method. If it is not, it will have to look like this:

    public string Make<T>(DbContext db, T model, string handle)
        where T: class, IHandle
    {
        db.Set<T>().Where(p => p.handle.Contains(handle) || p.handle.StartsWith(handle + "-"))

        return handle;
    }

Here's how it goes:

Handle.Make(db, user, "Rafael Alexandre");
