Linq syntax?

Ruby IronRuby
1

Hi
What would be the syntax to call Linq methods?

for example:
I have an IQueryable and I want to get the equivalent out of

from user in MyRepository.Users
where user.name == “somename”

That of course is only one example, I want to do a lot more :slight_smile:

My best guess is that I would have to do something like this only it
doesn’t
work

System::Linq::Queryable.where(MyRepository.Users, lambda { |user|
user.name== “somename” })

yields wrong number of arguments (2 for 2147483647)

So what is the correct way?

Method of Queryable take expression trees. Ruby lambdas are not
convertible to expression trees.
You need to build the expression tree yourself.

I was just going to post about this. Currently it is not possible to
call
the extension methods in System::Linq::Enumerable and
System::Linq::Queryable.

require ‘System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089’
=> true
include System::Linq
=> Object
Queryable
=> System::Linq::Queryable
Queryable.where
:0:in `CallSite.Target’: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2147483647)
(ArgumentError)
