CompiledQuery
Examples
The following example compiles and then invokes a query that accepts DateTime and Decimal input parameters and returns a sequence of orders where the order date is later than March 8, 2003 and the total due is less than $300.00:
static readonly Func<AdventureWorksEntities, DateTime, Decimal, IQueryable<SalesOrderHeader>> s_compiledQuery5 =
CompiledQuery.Compile<AdventureWorksEntities, DateTime, Decimal, IQueryable<SalesOrderHeader>>(
(ctx, orderDate, totalDue) => from product in ctx.SalesOrderHeaders
where product.OrderDate > orderDate
&& product.TotalDue < totalDue
orderby product.OrderDate
select product);
static void CompiledQuery5()
{
using (AdventureWorksEntities context = new AdventureWorksEntities())
{
DateTime date = new DateTime(2003, 3, 8);
Decimal amountDue = 300.00M;
IQueryable<SalesOrderHeader> orders = s_compiledQuery5.Invoke(context, date, amountDue);
foreach (SalesOrderHeader order in orders)
{
Console.WriteLine("ID: {0} Order date: {1} Total due: {2}", order.SalesOrderID, order.OrderDate, order.TotalDue);
}
}
}
ReadOnly s_compQuery5 = _
CompiledQuery.Compile(Of AdventureWorksEntities, DateTime, Decimal, IQueryable(Of SalesOrderHeader))( _
Function(ctx, orderDate, totalDue) From product In ctx.SalesOrderHeaders _
Where product.OrderDate > orderDate _
And product.TotalDue < totalDue _
Order By product.OrderDate _
Select product)
Sub CompiledQuery5()
Using context As New AdventureWorksEntities()
Dim orderedAfterDate As DateTime = New DateTime(2003, 3, 8)
Dim amountDue As Decimal = 300.0
Dim orders As IQueryable(Of SalesOrderHeader) = _
s_compQuery5.Invoke(context, orderedAfterDate, amountDue)
For Each order In orders
Console.WriteLine("ID: {0} Order date: {1} Total due: {2}", _
order.SalesOrderID, order.OrderDate, order.TotalDue)
Next
End Using
End Sub
Remarks
Provides for compilation and caching of queries for reuse. Conceptually this class contains a single Compile method with several overloads. You call the Compile method to create a new delegate to represent the compiled query. The delegate, when invoked with the ObjectContext input parameter and other parameter values, produces some result (such as an IQueryable<T> instance). The query is translated and cached when the delegate is invoked for the first time.
