Question
I want to build lambda expression :
Expression<Func<MyObject, bool>> predicate = PredicateBuilder.False<MyObject>();
var param = Expression.Parameter(typeof(MyObject), "f");
if (myOperator == OperateurEnum.EG)
{
var body = Expression.Equal(
Expression.PropertyOrField(param, myProperty),
Expression.Constant(myFilterValue)
);
var lambda = Expression.Lambda<Func<MyObject, bool>>(body, param);
predicate = predicate.Or(lambda);
}
else if (myOperator == OperateurEnum.CT)
{
var body = Expression.Call(
Expression.PropertyOrField(param, myProperty),
"StartsWith",
null,
Expression.Constant(myFilterValue)
);
var lambda = Expression.Lambda<Func<MyObject, bool>>(body, param);
predicate = predicate.Or(lambda);
}
else if ()
{
...
}
var myEx = Expression.Lambda<Func<MyObject, bool>>(predicate.Body, param);
Func<MyObject, bool> lambdaDelegate = myEx.Compile();
I use PredicateBuilder, but I got this error :
variable 'f' of type 'ProactisMvc.Web.ProactisWsServiceReference.Offre' referenced from scope '', but it is not defined
What's wrong ? Is there another solution ?
La solution
This last bit is wrong:
var myEx = Expression.Lambda<Func<MyObject, bool>>(predicate.Body, param);
Func<MyObject, bool> lambdaDelegate = myEx.Compile();
You are creating a new expression using predicate
's body but with some other parameter. This will mean that that the parameter-expressions used inside the expression- body will not be the ones accepted by the top-level expression!
Perhaps you are confused by PredicateBuilder's magic, but all .Or
is doing is combining the two predicates using an ||
expression, invoking the second predicate using the first predicate's parameter.
I think you just want:
var myDelegate = predicate.Compile();
