I want to pass a property list of a class to a function. with in the function based on property list I'm going to generate a query. As exactly same functionality in Linq Select method.
Here I'm gonna implement this for Ingress Database.
As an example,
in front end I wanna run a select as this,
My Entity Class is like this
public class Customer
{
[System.Data.Linq.Mapping.ColumnAttribute(Name="Id",IsPrimaryKey=true)]
public string Id { get; set; }
[System.Data.Linq.Mapping.ColumnAttribute(Name = "Name")]
public string Name { get; set; }
[System.Data.Linq.Mapping.ColumnAttribute(Name = "Address")]
public string Address { get; set; }
[System.Data.Linq.Mapping.ColumnAttribute(Name = "Email")]
public string Email { get; set; }
[System.Data.Linq.Mapping.ColumnAttribute(Name = "Mobile")]
public string Mobile { get; set; }
}
I wanna call a Select function like this,
var result = dataAccessService.Select<Customer>(C=>C.Name,C.Address);
then,using result I can get the Name and Address properties' values.
I think my Select function should looks like this,
( *I think this should done using Linq Expression. But im not sure what are the input parameter and return type. * )
Class DataAccessService
{
// I'm not sure about this return type and input types, generic types.
public TResult Select<TSource,TResult>(Expression<Func<TSource,TResult>> selector)
{
// Here using the property list,
// I can get the ColumnAttribute name value and I can generate a select query.
}
}
This is a attempt to create a functionality like in Linq. But im not an expert in Linq Expressions.
There is a project call DbLinq from MIT, but its a big project and still i couldn't grab anything helpful from that.
Can someone please help me to start this, or can someone link me some useful resources to read about this.
