I've created a generic to target tables in my database. I've also added a generic .where() with an expression containing only 1 parameter in the lambda expression. Is there a way that I can add more than 1 parameter in the same expression? Please ignore the fact that the below method returns 1 item, I would like to make it return a IList.
Here's my method:
public virtual T GetById( Int32 id, String someStringColumn )
{
ParameterExpression itemParameter = Expression.Parameter( typeof( T ), "item" );
var whereExpression = Expression.Lambda<Func<T, Boolean>>
(
Expression.Equal( Expression.Property( itemParameter, "Id" ), Expression.Constant( id ) ),
new[] { itemParameter }
);
return context.Set<T>().Where( whereExpression ).FirstOrDefault();
}
My actual intentions for this method is to later perform a Contains() on "string" properties of the target table "T". I would like to do something like below and append to the above Expression a check if the String property contains a value in the "someStringColumn". Just an insight, the "someStringColumn" will be a general search string on my page past by Ajax on every back-end call.
var properties = item.GetType().GetProperties().Where( p => p.PropertyType == typeof( string ) ).ToArray();
for ( Int32 i = 0; i < properties.Length; i++ )
{
}
I'm trying to achieve something like this in a non-generic method:
public override List<TableInDatabase> List( PagingModel pm, CustomSearchModel csm )
{
String[] qs = ( pm.Query ?? "" ).Split( ' ' );
return context.TableInDatabase
.Where( t => ( qs.Any( q => q != "" ) ? qs.Contains( t.ColumnName) : true ) )
.OrderBy( String.Format( "{0} {1}", pm.SortBy, pm.Sort ) )
.Skip( pm.Skip )
.Take( pm.Take )
.ToList();
}
If I understand correctly, you are seeking for something like this:
var item = Expression.Parameter(typeof(T), "item");
Expression body = Expression.Equal(Expression.Property(item, "Id"), Expression.Constant(id));
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(someStringColumn))
{
var properties = typeof(T).GetProperties().Where(p => p.PropertyType == typeof(string)).ToList();
if (properties.Any())
body = Expression.AndAlso(body,
properties.Select(p => (Expression)Expression.Call(
Expression.Property(item, p), "Contains", Type.EmptyTypes, Expression.Constant(someStringColumn))
).Aggregate(Expression.OrElse));
}
var whereExpression = Expression.Lambda<Func<T, bool>>(body, item);
ie build Contains
expression for each string property, combine them using Or
and finally combine the result with the first condition using And
.
