I have a Linq query which is selecting 2 columns(that can be any 2 from all columns) dynamically based on some condition.I need to map the query result in to below model irrespective of selected column names
public class FinalModel
{
public string Text { get; set; }
public string Id { get; set; }
}
Currently I am using reflection to map the result in to that model because i am getting some anonymous list of objects and it is working fine, But I want to remove that reflection and need to add the mapping in the select itself, my current implementation is like below
string column1 = "Name" //can be other columns also
string column2 = "Age"
var result = _context.table1
.Select("new ("+ column1 +","+ column2 +")")
.Distinct()
.Take(10) // having more records in table
.ToDynamicList()
.Select(x => new FinalModel()
{
Id = x.GetType().GetProperty(column1).GetValue(x).ToString(),
Text = x.GetType().GetProperty(column2).GetValue(x).ToString(),
});
The above code is working fine but I need to remove the below section
.Select(x => new FinalModel()
{
Id = x.GetType().GetProperty(column1).GetValue(x).ToString(),
Text = x.GetType().GetProperty(column2).GetValue(x).ToString(),
});
Is there any way to remove the refletion and add that model mapping directly inside Select("new (column1,column2)")
You can use generic versions of Select
and ToDynamicList
and OrderBy($"{column2}")
for sorting:
var result = _context.table1
.Select<FinalModel>($"new ({column1} as Id, {column2} as Text)")
.Distinct()
.OrderBy("Text")
.Take(10)
.ToDynamicList<FinalModel>();
Or if you want to stick with dynamic:
var result = _context.table1
.Select($"new ({column1}, {column2})")
.Distinct()
.OrderBy($"{column2}")
.Take(10)
.ToDynamicList()
.Select(d => new FinalModel()
{
Id = d[column1].ToString(),
Text = d[column2].ToString(),
})
.ToList();
