Simple Linq Dynamic Query question
- by Dr. Zim
In Linq Dynamic Query, Scott Guthrie shows an example Linq query:
var query =
db.Customers.
Where("City == @0 and Orders.Count >= @1", "London", 10).
OrderBy("CompanyName").
Select("new( CompanyName as Name, Phone)");
Notice the projection new( CompanyName as Name, Phone). If I have a class like this:
public class CompanyContact {
public string Name {get;set;}
public string Phone {get;set;}
}
How could I essentially "cast" his result using the CompanyContact data type without doing a foreach on each record and dumping it in to a different data structure? To my knowledge the only .Select available is the Dymanic Query version which only takes a string and parameter list.
