I have a table where some items may be null. I can query then easily by using a query like so:
db.SomeTable.Where(s => s.SomeCol == null)
Simple enough, but this does not work (No results. I suspect it is searching for an empty string instead; "") when using a variable that happens to be null, like so:
string variable = null;
db.SomeTable.Where(s => s.SomeCol == variable)
Do I have to do something special to get this to work?
Using LinqPad you can see the difference.
The former creates a query like:
select ...
from SomeTable as t0
where t0.SomeCol IS NULL
whereas the latter is
select ...
from SomeTable as t0
where t0.SomeCol = @p0
Instead you can use object.Equals in your test. Eg,
string test = null;
var q = from c in SomeTable where object.Equals(c.SomeCol, test) select c;
This will generate the appropriate where clause based on the value of the variable used in the condition.
