Request all titles by actor using LINQ to Netflix OData
- by Mark Heath
I'm experimenting with LINQPad to use LINQ to query the Netflix OData. I'm trying to search for all films with a particular actor in. For example:
from t in Titles
from p in t.Cast
where p.Name == "Morgan Freeman"
select t.Name
this results in:
NotSupportedException: Can only project the last entity type in the query being translated
I also tried:
from p in People
from t in p.TitlesActedIn
where p.Name == "Morgan Freeman"
select t.Name
which results in the following error:
NotSupportedException: The method 'Select' is not supported
I've tried a few other approaches, such as using Id's in the where clause, and selecting different things, but have got nowhere.
