Aggiornamento: EF ≥ 4 supporta Contains
direttamente (Checkout Any
), quindi non è necessaria alcuna soluzione alternativa.
public static IQueryable<TEntity> WhereIn<TEntity, TValue>
(
this ObjectQuery<TEntity> query,
Expression<Func<TEntity, TValue>> selector,
IEnumerable<TValue> collection
)
{
if (selector == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("selector");
if (collection == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("collection");
if (!collection.Any())
return query.Where(t => false);
ParameterExpression p = selector.Parameters.Single();
IEnumerable<Expression> equals = collection.Select(value =>
(Expression)Expression.Equal(selector.Body,
Expression.Constant(value, typeof(TValue))));
Expression body = equals.Aggregate((accumulate, equal) =>
Expression.Or(accumulate, equal));
return query.Where(Expression.Lambda<Func<TEntity, bool>>(body, p));
}
public static IQueryable<TEntity> WhereIn<TEntity, TValue>
(
this ObjectQuery<TEntity> query,
Expression<Func<TEntity, TValue>> selector,
params TValue[] collection
)
{
return WhereIn(query, selector, (IEnumerable<TValue>)collection);
}
UTILIZZO:
public static void Main()
{
using (MyObjectContext context = new MyObjectContext())
{
var contacts1 =
context.Contacts.WhereIn(c => c.Name, GetContactNames());
var contacts2 = context.Contacts.WhereIn(c => c.Name,
"Contact1",
"Contact2",
"Contact3",
"Contact4"
);
}
}
