linqnhibernate
I'm converting some code from Nhibernate 2.x to 3.0. Before, i was using the LINQ plugin, to get LINQ support. My understanding was that in 3.0 it got rolled in as a first class feature. So my question is, i used to have this:
return new List<T>(session.Linq<T>().Where(where));
What does that look like with the new syntax? i went through the nhib 3 docs and tutorial and didn't see anything about the linq stuff, so i couldn't find an example to pattern after.
You can't query against the DataTable's Rows collection, since DataRowCollection doesn't implement IEnumerable<T>. You need to use the AsEnumerable() extension for DataTable. Like so:
var results = from myRow in myDataTable.AsEnumerable()
where myRow.Field<int>("RowNo") == 1
select myRow;
And as @Keith says, you'll need to add a reference to System.Data.DataSetExtensions
AsEnumerable() returns IEnumerable<DataRow>. If you need to convert IEnumerable<DataRow> to a DataTable, use the CopyToDataTable() extension.
Below is query with Lambda Expression,
var result = myDataTable
.AsEnumerable()
.Where(myRow => myRow.Field<int>("RowNo") == 1);
Just stumbled into this oldie...
To do this without the dynamic LINQ library, you just need the code as below. This covers most common scenarios including nested properties.
To get it working with IEnumerable<T> you could add some wrapper methods that go via AsQueryable - but the code below is the core Expression logic needed.
public static IOrderedQueryable<T> OrderBy<T>(
this IQueryable<T> source,
string property)
{
return ApplyOrder<T>(source, property, "OrderBy");
}
public static IOrderedQueryable<T> OrderByDescending<T>(
this IQueryable<T> source,
string property)
{
return ApplyOrder<T>(source, property, "OrderByDescending");
}
public static IOrderedQueryable<T> ThenBy<T>(
this IOrderedQueryable<T> source,
string property)
{
return ApplyOrder<T>(source, property, "ThenBy");
}
public static IOrderedQueryable<T> ThenByDescending<T>(
this IOrderedQueryable<T> source,
string property)
{
return ApplyOrder<T>(source, property, "ThenByDescending");
}
static IOrderedQueryable<T> ApplyOrder<T>(
IQueryable<T> source,
string property,
string methodName)
{
string[] props = property.Split('.');
Type type = typeof(T);
ParameterExpression arg = Expression.Parameter(type, "x");
Expression expr = arg;
foreach(string prop in props) {
// use reflection (not ComponentModel) to mirror LINQ
PropertyInfo pi = type.GetProperty(prop);
expr = Expression.Property(expr, pi);
type = pi.PropertyType;
}
Type delegateType = typeof(Func<,>).MakeGenericType(typeof(T), type);
LambdaExpression lambda = Expression.Lambda(delegateType, expr, arg);
object result = typeof(Queryable).GetMethods().Single(
method => method.Name == methodName
&& method.IsGenericMethodDefinition
&& method.GetGenericArguments().Length == 2
&& method.GetParameters().Length == 2)
.MakeGenericMethod(typeof(T), type)
.Invoke(null, new object[] {source, lambda});
return (IOrderedQueryable<T>)result;
}
Edit: it gets more fun if you want to mix that with dynamic - although note that dynamic only applies to LINQ-to-Objects (expression-trees for ORMs etc can't really represent dynamic queries - MemberExpression doesn't support it). But here's a way to do it with LINQ-to-Objects. Note that the choice of Hashtable is due to favorable locking semantics:
using Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder;
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Dynamic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
static class Program
{
private static class AccessorCache
{
private static readonly Hashtable accessors = new Hashtable();
private static readonly Hashtable callSites = new Hashtable();
private static CallSite<Func<CallSite, object, object>> GetCallSiteLocked(
string name)
{
var callSite = (CallSite<Func<CallSite, object, object>>)callSites[name];
if(callSite == null)
{
callSites[name] = callSite = CallSite<Func<CallSite, object, object>>
.Create(Binder.GetMember(
CSharpBinderFlags.None,
name,
typeof(AccessorCache),
new CSharpArgumentInfo[] {
CSharpArgumentInfo.Create(
CSharpArgumentInfoFlags.None,
null)
}));
}
return callSite;
}
internal static Func<dynamic,object> GetAccessor(string name)
{
Func<dynamic, object> accessor = (Func<dynamic, object>)accessors[name];
if (accessor == null)
{
lock (accessors )
{
accessor = (Func<dynamic, object>)accessors[name];
if (accessor == null)
{
if(name.IndexOf('.') >= 0) {
string[] props = name.Split('.');
CallSite<Func<CallSite, object, object>>[] arr
= Array.ConvertAll(props, GetCallSiteLocked);
accessor = target =>
{
object val = (object)target;
for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
{
var cs = arr[i];
val = cs.Target(cs, val);
}
return val;
};
} else {
var callSite = GetCallSiteLocked(name);
accessor = target =>
{
return callSite.Target(callSite, (object)target);
};
}
accessors[name] = accessor;
}
}
}
return accessor;
}
}
public static IOrderedEnumerable<dynamic> OrderBy(
this IEnumerable<dynamic> source,
string property)
{
return Enumerable.OrderBy<dynamic, object>(
source,
AccessorCache.GetAccessor(property),
Comparer<object>.Default);
}
public static IOrderedEnumerable<dynamic> OrderByDescending(
this IEnumerable<dynamic> source,
string property)
{
return Enumerable.OrderByDescending<dynamic, object>(
source,
AccessorCache.GetAccessor(property),
Comparer<object>.Default);
}
public static IOrderedEnumerable<dynamic> ThenBy(
this IOrderedEnumerable<dynamic> source,
string property)
{
return Enumerable.ThenBy<dynamic, object>(
source,
AccessorCache.GetAccessor(property),
Comparer<object>.Default);
}
public static IOrderedEnumerable<dynamic> ThenByDescending(
this IOrderedEnumerable<dynamic> source,
string property)
{
return Enumerable.ThenByDescending<dynamic, object>(
source,
AccessorCache.GetAccessor(property),
Comparer<object>.Default);
}
static void Main()
{
dynamic a = new ExpandoObject(),
b = new ExpandoObject(),
c = new ExpandoObject();
a.X = "abc";
b.X = "ghi";
c.X = "def";
dynamic[] data = new[] {
new { Y = a },
new { Y = b },
new { Y = c }
};
var ordered = data.OrderByDescending("Y.X").ToArray();
foreach (var obj in ordered)
{
Console.WriteLine(obj.Y.X);
}
}
}

In NHibernate 3 with Linq you do this:
Or
Not sure if this is what you're looking for.
EDIT:
Query<T>is an extension method. Don't forget to add theusing NHibernate.Linqto be able to use it.
