Fetching related data from database via sqldatareader and push into ViewModel/ViewModelCollections

Lets assume I have the following 3 entities: Customer,Order,Product which interact in the View with the CustomerOrderProductViewModel.cs:

I have several controls like listbox,datagrid,开发者_开发技巧etc.. to display those entities in my View.

Those Entities shall be fetched sort of eager loading. That would mean I have 3 sqldatareader in my DAL. Each sqldatareader read data from table Customer,Product,Order. What I have to consider now How do I get the Orders into the Products and the Products into the Customers List ? Read every related data in 3 for-loops into each other? And how do I get that releated data into my VMCollections so the Master Detail stays intact.

The MVVM purists and alpha geeks are very silent about that topic.

You can use LINQ for this assuming you have constructors setup on your Business objects that handles a DataReader and an object to copy. Although, I'm a little confused about the structure of your query, but I think this is what your saying.

public class ViewModel
{
    public ViewModel(DAL dal)
    {
        Customers = dal.GetCustomerFull().ToList();
    }

    public List<Customer> Customers { get; set; }
}

public class DAL
{
    public IEnumerable<Customer> GetCustomerFull()
    {
        var customers = GetCustomers().ToList();
        var products = GetProducts().ToList();
        var orders = GetOrders().ToList();

        var query = from c in customers
                    select new Customer(c)
                    {
                       Products = from p in products
                                  where p.Id = c.ProductId
                                  select new Product(p)
                                  {
                                     Orders = from o in orders
                                              where o.Id = p.OrderId
                                              select o;
                                  }
                   };

        return query;
    }

    public IEnumerable<Customer> GetCustomers()
    {
        // setup command
        var reader = new SqlDataReader(cmd);
        while (reader.Read())
        {
            yield return new Customer(reader);
        }
    }
}
