Multiple conditions in where clause

[Rohan]

Hi there, I have just written a few unit tests and to my horror it failed.

Here is my test...

[TestMethod]
public void FetchWithMoreThanOneConditionUsingKnownTypes()
{
  using (var scope = EntityObjectScopeProvider.GetNewObjectScope())
  {
    var temp = new TempClient() { FirstName = "Rohan", Surname = "West" };
    var entity = scope.Extent<ClientEntity>().Where(c => temp.FirstName == c.FirstName && temp.Surname == c.Surname).FirstOrDefault();
   
    Assert.IsNotNull(entity);
    Assert.AreEqual(entity.FirstName, temp.FirstName);
    Assert.AreEqual(entity.Surname, temp.Surname);
  }
}

it is giving me the following exception, Unable to cast object of type 'Entities.Testing.TempClient' to type 'System.String'. Is this normal, i hope not,  The following test works correctly. I guess there is a problem when parsing the expression... Will this be fixed?
 
[TestMethod]
public void FetchWithMoreThanOneConditionUsingTempVariables()
{
  using (var scope = EntityObjectScopeProvider.GetNewObjectScope())
  {
    var temp = new TempClient(){ FirstName = "Rohan", Surname = "West" };  
   
    string firstname = temp.FirstName;
    string surname = temp.Surname;
   
    var entity = scope.Extent<ClientEntity>().Where(c => c.FirstName == firstname && c.Surname == surname).FirstOrDefault();
   
    Assert.IsNotNull(entity);
    Assert.AreEqual(entity.FirstName, temp.FirstName);
    Assert.AreEqual(entity.Surname, temp.Surname);
  }
}

Hi Rohan,

Yes you are right this is a functionality that our Linq support misses. I'd suggest you use some of the numerous workarounds available for this case temporarily before we add this in our Linq implementation. The issue is already on our to-do list. Your Telerik points have been updated.


All the best,
