DWS - Problem with WCF End Points Service Generation in VB

[Wes]

I've found the following problem when trying to compile after creating a WCF EndPoints Service using the DSW in Visual Studio 2008 using VB.  The DataManager class has a problem.  First it creates a reference to System.Linq.Dynamic.  We're not using a reference to that assembly, but rather are using the code directly from the DynamicLinq.vb class created by the DSW.  So OK fine, let's comment that one out.

Imports System.Collections
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports System.Globalization
Imports System.Linq
'Imports System.Linq.Dynamic
Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.Text
Imports Telerik.OpenAccess

Next, there's a problem win the Search Entities Function

This statement, produces a compile error with Option Strict on.

Dim results = scope.Extent(Of T)().Where(paramString.ToString(), paramValues.ToArray())

The error is as follows:

Error 1 Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'Where' is most specific for these arguments:
    Extension method 'Public Function Where(predicate As String, ParamArray values() As Object) As System.Linq.IQueryable(Of T)' defined in 'WVMSwcfService.DynamicQueryable': Not most specific.
    Extension method 'Public Function Where(predicate As String, ParamArray values() As Object) As System.Linq.IQueryable(Of T)' defined in 'WVMSwcfService.DynamicQueryable': Not most specific. C:\Users\Tim.HOME\Documents\@WVenture\Development\Matter Subscription\trunk\code\WVMSwcfService\DataManager.vb 233 27 WVMSwcfService

So, because this is an implementation of the DynamicQueryable class as far as I can tell, I thought what you might actually mean is:

'Dim results = scope.Extent(Of T)().Where(paramString.ToString(), paramValues.ToArray())
Dim results = DynamicQueryable.Where(scope.Extent(Of T)(), paramString.ToString, paramValues.ToArray())

I'll definitely admit that I'm in over my head here, but this should provide the search criteria you're looking for correct?  If it's right, please modify the creation of the DataManager.vb from the DSW to include these changes.

Hi Timothy,

First I would like to thank you about your notification on this problem, you are right about excluding the import statement and modifying the call to the Where function.
We will include your suggestions in the upcoming release.
Your feedback is always welcome, please feel free to share any other suggestions and sorry for the inconvenience caused.
