How to dynamically create an Expression<Func>










0















I have a class like this:



public class Student

public int Id get; set;
public string Name get; set;
public string LOANIDBPM get; set;
public string REPORTTYPE get; set;



I have a list Students,
I want to filter some student in list by LOANIDBPM and REPORTTYPE.



Usually, this is the code (using linq)



public void GetListStudent(List<Student> listStudent)

listStudent = listStudent.Where(x => x.LOANIDBPM == "MIKEN" && x.REPORTTYPE == "DX").ToList();



However, for some reason, i can't Explicit "List",
My solution is below:



public void GetListStudent(object listStudent)

ParameterExpression param = Expression.Parameter(listStudent.First().GetType(), nameof(listStudent));
Expression propLoanBPM = Expression.Property(param, "LOANIDBPM");
Expression<Func<string>> loanIdLampda = () => "MIKEN";
Expression searchLoanBPM = Expression.Equal(propLoanBPM, loanIdLampda.Body);

Expression propReportType = Expression.Property(param, "REPORTTYPE");
Expression<Func<string>> reportTypeLampda = () => "DX";

Expression searchReportType = Expression.Equal(propReportType, reportTypeLampda.Body);

Expression searchFinal = Expression.And(searchLoanBPM, searchReportType);


Expression<Func<???, bool>> lampda = Expression.Lambda<Func<???, bool>>(searchFinal, param);

listStudent = listStudent.Where(lampda).ToArray();



The code above has two problems:



1: I don't know type of Student in Expression Func,
I can't use like:



Expression<Func< listStudent.First().GetType(), bool>> lampda = Expression.Lambda<Func< listStudent.First().GetType(), bool>>(searchFinal, param);


2: In Where method, it's need to IQueryable, but in my code is Expression Func.



Sorry by my English.
Thank you so much

          Your first example doesn't compile because listStudent is a list and LINQ is generally going to return an IEnumerable of some kind. You need to add ToList():



          public void GetListStudent(List<Student> listStudent)

          listStudent = listStudent
          .Where
          (
          x => x.LOANIDBPM == "MIKEN" && x.REPORTTYPE == "DX"
          )
          .ToList(); //<-- add this



          Your second example doesn't work because c# doesn't know that your object array is actually a list of students. You can tell it using the Cast<>() method. When you're done, you need to convert back to an array, so add ToArray() at the end.



          public void GetListStudent(object listStudent)

          listStudent = listStudent
          .Cast<Student>() //<-- add this
          .Where
          (
          x => x.LOANIDBPM == "MIKEN" && x.REPORTTYPE == "DX"
          )
          .ToArray(); //<-- and this



          If only some of the objects are known to be students, you can use OfType<>() to filter them out.



          public void GetListStudent(object listStudent)

          listStudent = listStudent
          .OfType<Student>() //<-- add this
          .Where
          (
          x => x.LOANIDBPM == "MIKEN" && x.REPORTTYPE == "DX"
          )
          .ToArray(); //<-- and this



          And if you have absolutely no clue what those objects are but are quite certain they have LOANIDBPM and REPORTTYPE properties, I suppose you could use dynamic:



          public void GetListStudent(List<dynamic> listStudent)

          listStudent = listStudent
          .Where
          (
          x => x.LOANIDBPM == "MIKEN" && x.REPORTTYPE == "DX"
          )
          .ToList();

          • @mikenlanggio, May I ask how come you do not know? You obviously know that your object is of Student objects because you are filtering on LOANIDBPM and REPORTTYPE

          )
          .ToList(); //<-- add this



          Your second example doesn't work because c# doesn't know that your object array is actually a list of students. You can tell it using the Cast<>() method. When you're done, you need to convert back to an array, so add ToArray() at the end.



          public void GetListStudent(object listStudent)

          listStudent = listStudent
          .Cast<Student>() //<-- add this
          .Where
          (
          x => x.LOANIDBPM == "MIKEN" && x.REPORTTYPE == "DX"
          )
          .ToArray(); //<-- and this



          If only some of the objects are known to be students, you can use OfType<>() to filter them out.



          public void GetListStudent(object listStudent)

          listStudent = listStudent
          .OfType<Student>() //<-- add this
          .Where
          (
          x => x.LOANIDBPM == "MIKEN" && x.REPORTTYPE == "DX"
          )
          .ToArray(); //<-- and this



          And if you have absolutely no clue what those objects are but are quite certain they have LOANIDBPM and REPORTTYPE properties, I suppose you could use dynamic:



          public void GetListStudent(List<dynamic> listStudent)

          listStudent = listStudent
          .Where
          (
          x => x.LOANIDBPM == "MIKEN" && x.REPORTTYPE == "DX"
          )
          .ToList();

          • @mikenlanggio, May I ask how come you do not know? You obviously know that your object is of Student objects because you are filtering on LOANIDBPM and REPORTTYPE
