server paging (onread) search leads to linq to EF query transtale error

grid configuration

if use grid filter, the server-side query is completed successfully:

"skip": 0,
	"page": 1,
	"pageSize": 20000,
	"sorts": [],
	"filters": [
		{
			"logicalOperator": 0,
			"filterDescriptors": [
				{
					"member": "VersionName",
					"operator": 8,
					"value": "test"
				}
			]
		}
	],
	"groups": [],
	"aggregates": [],
	"groupPaging": false

if try to use the search:

"skip": 0,
	"page": 1,
	"pageSize": 20000,
	"sorts": [],
	"filters": [
		{
			"logicalOperator": 1,
			"filterDescriptors": [
				{
					"member": "ProductName",
					"operator": 8,
					"value": "test"
				},...
					"member": "LabHourlyRateCurrency.Value",
					"operator": 8,
					"value": "test"
				}
			]
		}
	],
	"groups": [],
	"aggregates": [],
	"groupPaging": false

it leads to 

The LINQ expression 'DbSet() .Join( inner: DbSet(), outerKeySelector: s => EF.Property(s, "VersionId"), innerKeySelector: p => EF.Property(p, "Id"), resultSelector: (o, i) => new TransparentIdentifier( Outer = o, Inner = i )) .Join( inner: DbSet(), outerKeySelector: s => EF.Property(s.Inner, "ProductId"), innerKeySelector: p0 => EF.Property(p0, "Id"), resultSelector: (o, i) => new TransparentIdentifier, Product>( Outer = o, Inner = i )) .Join( inner: DbSet(), outerKeySelector: s => EF.Property(s.Outer.Outer, "JurisdictionId"), innerKeySelector: a => EF.Property(a, "Id"), resultSelector: (o, i) => new TransparentIdentifier, Product>, ApprovalJurisdiction>( Outer = o, Inner = i )) .OrderBy(s => s.Outer.Inner.Name) .ThenBy(s => s.Outer.Outer.Inner.Version) .ThenBy(s => s.Inner.Name) .Where(s => s.Outer.Inner.Name.ToLower().Contains("2 card") && s.Outer.Outer.Inner.Version.ToLower().Contains("2 card") && s.Outer.Inner.Name.ToLower().Contains("test1") || s.Outer.Outer.Inner.Version.ToLower().Contains("test1") || s.Inner.Name.ToLower().Contains("test1") || s.Outer.Outer.Outer.FileApprovalNumber.ToLower().Contains("test1") || new ProductSubmissionCostModel{ SubmissionId = s.Outer.Outer.Outer.Id, ProductId = s.Outer.Outer.Inner.ProductId, ProductName = s.Outer.Inner.Name, VersionName = s.Outer.Outer.Inner.Version, Jurisdiction = s.Inner.Name, SubmissionDate = s.Outer.Outer.Outer.DateSubmission, FileApprovalNumber = s.Outer.Outer.Outer.FileApprovalNumber } .InvoiceNumber.ToLower().Contains("test1") || new ProductSubmissionCostModel{ SubmissionId = s.Outer.Outer.Outer.Id, ProductId = s.Outer.Outer.Inner.ProductId, ProductName = s.Outer.Inner.Name, VersionName = s.Outer.Outer.Inner.Version, Jurisdiction = s.Inner.Name, SubmissionDate = s.Outer.Outer.Outer.DateSubmission, FileApprovalNumber = s.Outer.Outer.Outer.FileApprovalNumber } .ChargeType.ToLower().Contains("test1") || new ProductSubmissionCostModel{ SubmissionId = s.Outer.Outer.Outer.Id, ProductId = s.Outer.Outer.Inner.ProductId, ProductName = s.Outer.Inner.Name, VersionName = s.Outer.Outer.Inner.Version, Jurisdiction = s.Inner.Name, SubmissionDate = s.Outer.Outer.Outer.DateSubmission, FileApprovalNumber = s.Outer.Outer.Outer.FileApprovalNumber } .LabHourlyRateCurrency.Value.ToLower().Contains("test1"))' could not be translated. Either rewrite the query in a form that can be translated, or switch to client evaluation explicitly by inserting a call to 'AsEnumerable', 'AsAsyncEnumerable', 'ToList', or 'ToListAsync'. See

server code:

 

var result = await _mapper.ProjectTo<ComponentModel>(
                _corpDbContext.Component
                    .Include(_ => _.Function))
                .OrderBy(_=>_.ComponentIdentifier)
                .ToDataSourceResultAsync(request.DataSourceRequest);
            return new DataEnvelope<ComponentModel>()
            {
                Data = result.Data.Cast<ComponentModel>().ToList(), 
                Total = result.Total
            };

Hello Aleksandr,

Can you send me a minimal runnable reproduction so that we can further investigate if this issue stems from the Grid component? I am asking because "The LINQ expression could not be translated" issue is pretty generic and is not pointing me toward anything specific in the Grid.

so, as we investigated the problem in the model binding field, 

ail: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Diagnostics.ExceptionHandlerMiddleware[1]
      An unhandled exception has occurred while executing the request.
      System.InvalidOperationException: The LINQ expression 'DbSet<Component>()
          .OrderBy(c => c.ComponentIdentifier)
          .LeftJoin(
              inner: DbSet<Gfunction>(),
              outerKeySelector: c => EF.Property<string>(c, "FunctionId"),
              innerKeySelector: g => EF.Property<string>(g, "Code"),
              resultSelector: (o, i) => new TransparentIdentifier<Component, Gfunction>(
                  Outer = o,
                  Inner = i
              ))
          .Where(c => (c.Inner ?? new Gfunction()).Code.ToLower() == "i")' **could not be translated.**

as a solution, we can flatten the model

 

@Svetoslav Dimitrov is it possible to get the expression generated by ?

ToDataSourceResultAsync(request.DataSourceRequest)

[Aleksandr]

i am just wonder who generate this "c.Inner ?? new Gfunction()).Code.ToLower() == "i"" expression 

[Aleksandr]

seems the problem is in automapper, changed mapping a little bit, now getting 

 

 The LINQ expression 'DbSet<Component>()
          .OrderBy(c => c.ComponentIdentifier)
          .Where(c => new ComponentModel{
              Id = c.Id,
              ComponentIdentifier = c.ComponentIdentifier,
              ComponentAttribute1 = c.ComponentAttribute1,
              CRC16Checksum = c.Crc16checksum,
              MD5Hash = c.Md5hash,
              Kobetron = c.Kobetron,
              Media = c.Media,
              Notes = c.Notes,
              ImageLocation = c.ImageLocation,
              Notif = c.Notif,
              UserName = c.UserName,
              LastUpdated = (DateTime?)c.LastUpdated
          }
          .GFunction.Key.ToLower() == "i")'

good to know where to dig

finally made it work
