ObjectQuery<T>.Except(ObjectQuery<T>) Method

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Data.Objects
Assembly:
System.Data.Entity.dll

Limits the query results by excluding results based on the results of another object query.

public:
 System::Data::Objects::ObjectQuery<T> ^ Except(System::Data::Objects::ObjectQuery<T> ^ query);
public System.Data.Objects.ObjectQuery<T> Except (System.Data.Objects.ObjectQuery<T> query);
member this.Except : System.Data.Objects.ObjectQuery<'T> -> System.Data.Objects.ObjectQuery<'T>
Public Function Except (query As ObjectQuery(Of T)) As ObjectQuery(Of T)

Parameters

query
ObjectQuery<T>

An ObjectQuery<T> that represents the results to exclude from the query.

Returns

ObjectQuery<T>

A new ObjectQuery<T> instance that is equivalent to the original instance with EXCEPT applied based on the specified query.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The query parameter is null or an empty string.

Examples

This example uses Except method to create a new ObjectQuery<T> object and then iterates through the result of the new query.

int productID = 900;
using (AdventureWorksEntities context =
    new AdventureWorksEntities())
{
    string queryString = @"SELECT VALUE product
        FROM AdventureWorksEntities.Products AS product";

    ObjectQuery<Product> productQuery =
        new ObjectQuery<Product>(queryString,
            context, MergeOption.NoTracking);

    string queryString2 = @"SELECT VALUE product
        FROM AdventureWorksEntities.Products
        AS product WHERE product.ProductID < @productID";

    ObjectQuery<Product> productQuery2 =
        new ObjectQuery<Product>(queryString2,
            context, MergeOption.NoTracking);

    productQuery2.Parameters.Add(new ObjectParameter("productID", productID));

    ObjectQuery<Product> productQuery3 =
        productQuery.Except(productQuery2);

    Console.WriteLine("Result of Except");
    Console.WriteLine("------------------");

    // Iterate through the collection of Product items
    // after the Except method was called.
    foreach (Product result in productQuery3)
        Console.WriteLine("Product Name: {0}",
            result.ProductID);
}

Remarks

The supplied query that defines results to exclude must be of the same type or of a type that is compatible with the ObjectQuery<T>.

Parameters that are defined in the supplied query are merged with parameters that are defined in the ObjectQuery<T> instance. Parameters must be unique in the combined ObjectParameterCollection. There cannot be two parameters in the combined collection with the same name. For more information, see Query Builder Methods.

The resulting query inherits the connection from the ObjectQuery<T> instance on which Except was called.
