LinqUtils Methods

The LinqUtils type exposes the following members.

Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodStatic memberAddFieldToProjectionIfNotPresent
Adds the field to projection if not present already. If the projection is an entity projection, only the field aliases are compared. If the projection is a valuelist projection, field alias and field objectalias are compared.
Public methodStatic memberAddFromClauseDirectivesToRelationsCollection
Adds the specified from clause directives to the relation collection specified. If the relation collection is null and there are from clause directives to add, a new relation collection is created.
Public methodStatic memberAddPathEdgesToPrefetchPath
Adds the path edge to the prefetch path passed in.
Public methodStatic memberAddPathEdgesToPrefetchPathElement
Adds the path edges to prefetch path element.
Public methodStatic memberAddRelationsRangeToRelationsCollection
Adds the relations range in source to the relations collection called destination. If destination is null and source is not empty, a new relationcollection is returned with source's relations added to it.
Public methodStatic memberCalculateRowHashForSpecifiedValues
Calculates the row hash from the values at the specified indices
Public methodStatic memberCheckIfImplicitCast
Checks if the cast from fromType to toType is an implicit cast.
Public methodStatic memberCheckifJoinIsFullQuery
Checks if the passed in join is a full query or just a join. It's a full query if the projection lambda has as output type not a type which is build from the two input types.
Public methodStatic memberCloneField(IEntityFieldCore)
Clones the field passed in.
Public methodStatic memberCloneField(IEntityFieldCore, Boolean)
Clones the field passed in.
Public methodStatic memberCoerceBooleanExpressionToDbFunctionCallParameter
Coerces the boolean expression to a db function call parameter.
Public methodStatic memberCoercePredicateToPredicateExpression
Coerces the predicate to predicate expression.
Public methodStatic memberCoerceSetReferenceExpressionToEntityFieldExpressionIfRequired
Coerces the set reference expression to entity field expression if required.
Public methodStatic memberCoerceToSet
Coerces the passed in linq expression to setexpression. If the passed in expression is a parameter, it will convert it to a setreference expression otherwise it will try to cast it to a setexpression. If this can't be done, in the situation where tocoerce isn't a setexpression, null is returned.
Public methodStatic memberCoerceToType
Coerces the linq expression to the targettype.
Public methodStatic memberConvertLocalExpressionToRealObject
Converts the local expression to a real object. This is done by a trick: we'll compile the whole expression as a lambda and run it. this will return the object, including initialization results and completely materialized as we want it. The passed in expression is for example a list or array initialization / ctor call. To utilize the in-memory object, we've to run this ctor to be able to use the values. This routine takes care of that.
Public methodStatic memberCreateBoolProducerLambda
Creates a bool producer lambda which is usable in projections via the ProjectionValueProducerFunc delegate.
Public methodStatic memberCreateConstantBoolPredicate
Creates a constant false predicate. This predicate results in a @param=0 predicate, where the param has a value of 1.
Public methodStatic memberCreateDbFunctionCallAsLLBLExpression(DbFunctionCallExpression, IRelationCollection, Object)
Creates a new DbFunctionCall object and wraps it inside a LLBLGenProExpressionExpression object.
Public methodStatic memberCreateDbFunctionCallAsLLBLExpression(Type, FunctionMapping, IRelationCollection, Object)
Creates a new DbFunctionCall object and wraps it inside a LLBLGenProExpressionExpression object.
Public methodStatic memberCreateDerivedTable
Creates a derived table definition from the expression to convert.
Public methodStatic memberCreateEntityInstanceFromEntityType
Creates a new entity instance from the type specified. This routine uses a factory related to the type, not Activator, as some abstract entities may be used which don't have a public ctor. Falls back to activator if type is a custom type derived from an entity class.
Public methodStatic memberCreateHashValueKeyFromIndices
Creates the hash value key from indices.
Public methodStatic memberCreateObjectCreatorFuncInstanceTObject
Creates the object creator func instance for instantiating objects of type TObject using the default constructor

Public methodStatic memberCreatePkFilterFromEntity
Creates a pk filter on the PK fields of the passed in entity with the values in the passed in entity. The objectAlias is the alias of the set to filter.

Creates a predicate based on the imput specified.
Public methodStatic memberCreatePredicate(IEntityFieldCore, ComparisonOperator, Object, ITemplateGroupSpecificCreator)
Creates a predicate based on the imput specified.
Public methodStatic memberCreatePredicateExpressionFromCorrelationRelation(IEntityRelation, ITemplateGroupSpecificCreator, MappingTracker)

Public methodStatic memberGrabFirstUsuableFieldInProjection
Grabs the first usable field in the projection definition passed in. For entity projections, this is the *last* field as due to inheritance it can be the first field is in the root of the hierarchy. For the caller this shouldn't matter.
Public methodStatic memberIsNullableOfT
Determines whether the passed in type is a nullable(Of T) type. If so, true is returned, otherwise false
Public methodStatic memberIsSingleValueType
Determines whether the type passed in is a value type or a type which is a single value and thus should be considered a type a field could have.
Public methodStatic memberObtainObjectValuesFromListOfObjects

Public methodStatic memberObtainTypeFilterForEntity
Obtains the type filter for the entity with the type specified.
Public methodStatic memberObtainValidFieldFromEntity(Type, IElementCreatorCore)
Obtains a valid field from the entity of which the type is passed in. A valid field is a field which is located in that entity and also defined in that entity so not inherited from a supertype.
Public methodStatic memberObtainValidFieldFromEntity(Type, IElementCreatorCore, String)
Obtains a valid field from the entity of which the type is passed in. A valid field is a field which is located in that entity and also defined in that entity so not inherited from a supertype.
Public methodStatic memberProduceBooleanProducerLambdaFromBooleanTypedExpression
Produces the boolean producer lambda from boolean typed expression (which can be a filter or an LLBLGen expression with boolean operator) boolean expression in projection means it has to be wrapped inside a scalarquery expression which should be wrapped inside a field which then should be the parameter of a dbfunction call which represents a CASE statement. This db function call's result has to be processed by a lambda which checks if the dbfunction call's case statement returned 1 or 0 and returns true or false.
Public methodStatic memberProduceInvocationLambdaFromInvocationExpression
Produces an invocation lambda from the invocation expression passed in. It wraps the realLambda into a (values, indices) => realLambda(values[indexes[0]], values[indexes[1]], ...) call.
Public methodStatic memberProduceProperBooleanExpressionLambda
Produces the proper boolean expression lambda, from the passed in lambda. If the passed in lambda's return type isn't bool it's returned as-is. Otherwise, it's checked whether it contains a boolean expression. If not, it's corrected. If it does, it's returned as-is.
Public methodStatic memberRemoveConvertExpressionWrappers
Removes the convert expression wrappers, which are Unary expression which are simply Convert expression but don't do anything really useful.
Public methodStatic memberRemovePredicatesFromFilter
Removes the passed in predicates from the filter to clean.
Public methodStatic memberRemoveUnaryQuoteExpressionWrappers
Removes the unary quote expression wrappers. Some unary expressions are wrapped in Unary expressions which are of type Quote, and which simply wrap an inner expression. This method unwraps the inner expression, as we're not interested in the wrapper.
Public methodStatic memberReplaceFirstFieldInProjection
Replaces the first field in project.
Public methodStatic memberSafeExpressionToString
returns the string representation of the element passed in or "(null)" if null.
Public methodStatic memberSetProperHintForJoin
Sets the proper hint for join in the relation passed in. It will set it to left join if the start entity is the fk side and the fk is nullable it will set it to right join if the end entity is the fk side and the fk is nullable. If the FK side isn't nullable, and it's a 1:1 relationship, the join hint will be towards the PK side: left or right. In all other cases it will stay Inner.
Public methodStatic memberStripOutProjectionFromJoinResultExpression
Strips out the projection from join result expression.
Public methodStatic memberUnwrapNotExpression
Unwraps the expression from the not expressions it is wrapped in and returns the unwrapped result, as well as the # of not expressions encountered.
Public methodStatic memberValuesAreEqual
Compares two values based on their values using the ORMSupportClasses routine in FieldUtilities. This method is here to avoid breakage of Linq code without noticing it if the signature of the ORMSupportClasses routine changes. This routine has no code of its own, it simply calls into the FieldUtilities.ValuesAreEqual routine
Public methodStatic memberWrapProjectionElementInSelectIfRequired
Wraps the projection element in select passed in if required. This is necessary if the expression is an entity expression and it has a correlationrelation which means that the projection element contains a reference to a related entity which will result in a nested query.
