EnableQueryAttribute Class

 

This class defines an attribute that can be applied to an action to enable querying using the OData query syntax. To avoid processing unexpected or malicious queries, use the validation settings on EnableQueryAttribute to validate incoming queries.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	EnableQueryAttribute()	Enables a controller action to support OData query parameters.

Properties

	Name	Description
	AllowedArithmeticOperators	Gets or sets a value that represents a list of allowed arithmetic operators including 'add', 'sub', 'mul', 'div', 'mod'.
	AllowedFunctions	Gets or sets a value that represents a list of allowed functions used in the $filter query. The allowed functions include the following: [list type="definition"] [item] [term]String related[/term] [description]substringof, endswith, startswith, length, indexof, substring, tolower, toupper, trim, concat e.g. ~/Customers?$filter=length(CompanyName) eq 19[/description] [/item] [item] [term]DateTime related[/term] [description]year, years, month, months, day, days, hour, hours, minute, minutes, second, seconds e.g. ~/Employees?$filter=year(BirthDate) eq 1971[/description] [/item] [item] [term]Math related[/term] [description]round, floor, ceiling[/description] [/item] [item] [term]Type related[/term] [description]isof, cast[/description] [/item] [item] [term]Collection related[/term] [description]any, all[/description] [/item] [/list]
	AllowedLogicalOperators	Gets or sets a value that represents a list of allowed logical Operators such as 'eq', 'ne', 'gt', 'ge', 'lt', 'le', 'and', 'or', 'not'.
	AllowedOrderByProperties	Gets or sets a string with comma seperated list of property names. The queryable result can only be ordered by those properties defined in this list. Note, by default this string is null, which means it can be ordered by any property. For example, setting this value to null or empty string means that we allow ordering the queryable result by any properties. Setting this value to "Name" means we only allow queryable result to be ordered by Name property.
	AllowedQueryOptions	Gets or sets the query parameters that are allowed in queries. The default is all query options, including $filter, $skip, $top, $orderby, $expand, $select, $inlineCount, $format and $skiptoken.
	AllowMultiple	Gets a value that indicates whether multiple filters are allowed.(Inherited from FilterAttribute.)
	EnableConstantParameterization	Gets or sets a value indicating whether constants should be parameterized. Parameterizing constants would result in better performance with Entity framework.
	EnsureStableOrdering	Gets or sets a value indicating whether query composition should alter the original query when necessary to ensure a stable sort order.
	HandleNullPropagation	Gets or sets a value indicating how null propagation should be handled during query composition.
	MaxAnyAllExpressionDepth	Gets or sets the maximum depth of the Any or All elements nested inside the query. This limit helps prevent Denial of Service attacks. The default value is 1.
	MaxExpansionDepth	Gets or sets the max expansion depth for the $expand query option. To disable the maximum expansion depth check, set this property to 0.
	MaxNodeCount	Gets or sets the maximum number of nodes inside the $filter syntax tree. The default value is 100.
	MaxOrderByNodeCount	Gets or sets the maximum number of expressions that can be present in the $orderby.
	MaxSkip	Gets or sets the max value of $skip that a client can request.
	MaxTop	Gets or sets the max value of $top that a client can request.
	PageSize	Gets or sets the maximum number of query results to send back to clients.
	TypeId	(Inherited from Attribute.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	ApplyQuery(IQueryable, ODataQueryOptions)	Applies the query to the given IQueryable based on incoming query from uri and query settings. By default, the implementation supports $top, $skip, $orderby and $filter. Override this method to perform additional query composition of the query.
	ApplyQuery(Object, ODataQueryOptions)	Applies the query to the given entity based on incoming query from uri and query settings.
	Equals(Object)	(Inherited from Attribute.)
	Finalize()	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode()	(Inherited from Attribute.)
	GetModel(Type, HttpRequestMessage, HttpActionDescriptor)	Gets the EDM model for the given type and request. Override this method to customize the EDM model used for querying.
	GetType()	(Inherited from Object.)
	IsDefaultAttribute()	(Inherited from Attribute.)
	Match(Object)	(Inherited from Attribute.)
	MemberwiseClone()	(Inherited from Object.)
	OnActionExecuted(HttpActionExecutedContext)	Performs the query composition after action is executed. It first tries to retrieve the IQueryable from the returning response message. It then validates the query from uri based on the validation settings on EnableQueryAttribute. It finally applies the query appropriately, and reset it back on the response message.(Overrides ActionFilterAttribute.OnActionExecuted(HttpActionExecutedContext).)
	OnActionExecutedAsync(HttpActionExecutedContext, CancellationToken)	(Inherited from ActionFilterAttribute.)
	OnActionExecuting(HttpActionContext)	Occurs before the action method is invoked.(Inherited from ActionFilterAttribute.)
	OnActionExecutingAsync(HttpActionContext, CancellationToken)	(Inherited from ActionFilterAttribute.)
	ToString()	(Inherited from Object.)
	ValidateQuery(HttpRequestMessage, ODataQueryOptions)	Validates the OData query in the incoming request. By default, the implementation throws an exception if the query contains unsupported query parameters. Override this method to perform additional validation of the query.

Explicit Interface Implementations

	Name	Description
	_Attribute.GetIDsOfNames(Guid, IntPtr, UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)	(Inherited from Attribute.)
	_Attribute.GetTypeInfo(UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)	(Inherited from Attribute.)
	_Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount(UInt32)	(Inherited from Attribute.)
	_Attribute.Invoke(UInt32, Guid, UInt32, Int16, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr)	(Inherited from Attribute.)
	IActionFilter.ExecuteActionFilterAsync(HttpActionContext, CancellationToken, Func<Task<HttpResponseMessage>>)	Executes the filter action asynchronously.(Inherited from ActionFilterAttribute.)
