I have two tables that are related via a mapping table:
keywords
titles
I am trying to return a list of Map_Keywords_Title
(the mapping table's object) based on the results of a join.
Until I added the last part with typedQuery
it was just returning objects of anonymous type. I want it to return items of type Map_Keywords_Title
so I tried adding the Select at the end (also tried Cast but that failed). The problem now is that the resulting objects are not managed by entity framework so I can't save changes to them.
Is there no straightforward way to do this in Linq to Entities? I'm using VS2008 so I don't yet have the new EF.
public IList<Map_Keywords_Title> MatchingTitleKeywordMappings(string containedInText)
{
var keywords = QueryKeywords();
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(containedInText))
{
Expression<Func<Keyword, bool>> exprContainsKeyword = k => containedInText.Contains(k.WordText);
keywords = keywords.Where(exprContainsKeyword);
}
var maps = QueryMap_Keywords_Title();
var anonQuery = keywords.Join(
maps,
开发者_如何学Go key => (int)key.Id,
map => (int)map.Keyword.Id,
(key, map) => new
{
map.Id,
map.Keyword,
map.Title
});
var typedQuery = anonQuery.ToList().Select(anon => new Map_Keywords_Title()
{
Id = anon.Id,
Keyword=anon.Keyword,
Title=anon.Title
});
return typedQuery.ToList();
}
Ok, I got tired of comments...
using( someContext sc = new someContext())
{
sc.Map_Keywords_Title.Include("Title")
.Include("Keyword")
.Where( mkt => containedInText.Contains(mkt.Keyword.WordText));
}
Is that anywhere close to what you want?
