- by RJ
I have a MVC project that has a Linq to SQL dbml class. It is a table called Clients that houses client information. I can easily get the information to display in a View using the code I followed in Nerd Dinner but I have added a stored procedure to the dbml and it's result set is of IQueryable, not IQueryable. I need to convert IQueryable to IQueryable so I can display it in the same View. The reason for the sproc is so I can pass a search string tothe sproc and return the same information as a full list but filtered on the search. I know I can use Linq to filter the whole list but I don't want the whole list so I am using the sproc.
Here is the code in my ClientRepository with a comment where I need to convert. What code goes in the commented spot.
public IQueryable<Client> SelectClientsBySearch(String search)
{
IQueryable<SelectClientsBySearchResult> spClientList = (from p in db.SelectClientsBySearch(search) select p).AsQueryable();
//what is the code to convert IQueryable<SelectClientsBySearchResult> to IQueryable<Client>
return clientList;
}
