Fluent->Anon Type

Posted by Community Admin on 08-Sep-2011 00:00

Is it possible in the Fluent interface to define a custom type?

This is what I normally do, but I'm wondering if it can be done inline without needing to manipulate the collection a second time

Hi Steve,

Can you please clarify the question? I think that I am not able to understand fully what you want to achieve.

Kind regards,

Something like

var (dyanmic?) person = App.WorkWith().

....

.Get()

.Select(x => new

Name = x.FullName,

Address = x.Address

);

...so the "person" comes back as a dynamic or anon type in the Fluent query without needing to re-flatten it

Hi Steve,

I think that we already support this. Isn't the below what you want to do:

var newsQuery = from nI in App.WorkWith().NewsItems().Get()

where nI.Status == Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ContentLifecycleStatus.Live

select new Title = nI.GetString("Title") ;

The peculiarity here is the LString type, to be able to serve those properties you need to get their string representation for the current culture.

Yeah okay so I guess it was more of a Linq question really...

So the from <x> in <y> syntax is the only way to do it

Thanks! :)

Hi Steve,

Well, no. What ever is supported on IQuerieable, see sample below:

var newsQuery = App.WorkWith()

.NewsItems()

.Where(nI=> nI.Status == Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ContentLifecycleStatus.Live).Get()

.Select(nI => new Title = nI.GetString("Title"), nI.Id);
