ADO.NET Entity Framework : Paging EntitySQL
Paging in EntitySQL is really easy to achieve. You have got two important sub-clauses (or query operators) are available, SKIP and LIMIT.
So your paging EntitySQL query would ideally look like,
"SELECT VALUE e FROM NorthwindEntities.Customers AS e ORDER BY e.CompanyName SKIP 10 LIMIT 10 ";
The most important part is that you *must* implement ORDER BY clause for SKIP and LIMIT.
using (EntityConnection conn =
new EntityConnection("name=NorthwindEntities"))
{
conn.Open();
//EntitySQL
string sQueryString = "SELECT VALUE e FROM NorthwindEntities.Customers AS e ORDER BY e.CompanyName SKIP 10 LIMIT 10 ";
using (EntityCommand comm =
new EntityCommand(sQueryString,conn))
{
EntityDataReader reader =
comm.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.SequentialAccess);
while (reader.Read())
{
Console.WriteLine(reader["CompanyName"]);
}
}
}
PS. You need to make CommandBehavior.SequentialAccess for EntityDataReader.
