Can anyone convert this simple LINQ-to-SQL to an Expression Tree:
List<Region> lst = (from r in dc.Regions
where r.RegionID > 2 && r.RegionDescription.Contains("ern")
select r).ToList();
Can anyone convert this simple LINQ-to-SQL to an Expression Tree:
List<Region> lst = (from r in dc.Regions
where r.RegionID > 2 && r.RegionDescription.Contains("ern")
select r).ToList();
This should do it:
var query = dc.Regions.AsQueryable();
ParameterExpression pe = Expression.Parameter(typeof(Region), "region");
Expression id = Expression.PropertyOrField(pe, "RegionID");
Expression two = Expression.Constant(2);
Expression e1 = Expression.GreaterThan(id, two);
Expression description = Expression.PropertyOrField(pe, "RegionDescription");
MethodInfo method = typeof(string).GetMethod("Contains", new[] {typeof(string)});
Expression ern = Expression.Constant("ern",typeof(string));
Expression e2 = Expression.Call(description, method, ern);
Expression e3 = Expression.And(e1, e2);
MethodCallExpression whereCallExpression = Expression.Call(
typeof(Queryable),
"Where",
new Type[] { query.ElementType },
query.Expression,
Expression.Lambda<Func<Region, bool>>(e3, new ParameterExpression[] { pe }));
var results = query.Provider.CreateQuery<Region>(whereCallExpression);
List<Region> lst = results.ToList();
And to select just RegionID
from the result set do the following:
MethodCallExpression selectExpression = Expression.Call(
typeof(Queryable),
"Select",
new[]{ typeof(Region), typeof(int)},
whereCallExpression,
Expression.Lambda<Func<Region, int>>(id, pe));
var regionIDsQuery = query.Provider.CreateQuery<int>(selectExpression);
List<int> regionIDs = regionIDsQuery.ToList();
