C# Eval Expression LINQ Dynamic - Where

LINQ Dynamic Where Examples

C# Dynamic LINQ Where examples using an Expression Evaluator.

Where - Simple 1

This C# example uses the LINQ Where method with a dynamic expression to find all elements of an array less than 5.

LINQ

private void uiWhere_Simple_1_LINQ_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	int[] numbers = {5, 4, 1, 3, 9, 8, 6, 7, 2, 0};

	var lowNums = numbers.Where(n => n < 5);

	var sb = new StringBuilder();

	sb.AppendLine("Numbers < 5:");
	foreach (var x in lowNums)
	{
		sb.AppendLine(x.ToString());
	}

	My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.Linq, uiResult, sb);
}

LINQ Dynamic

private void uiWhere_Simple_1_LINQ_Dynamic_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	int[] numbers = {5, 4, 1, 3, 9, 8, 6, 7, 2, 0};

	var lowNums = numbers.Where(n => "n < 5");

	var sb = new StringBuilder();

	sb.AppendLine("Numbers < 5:");
	foreach (var x in lowNums)
	{
		sb.AppendLine(x.ToString());
	}

	My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.LinqDynamic, uiResult, sb);
}

LINQ Execute

private void uiWhere_Simple_1_LINQ_Execute_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	int[] numbers = {5, 4, 1, 3, 9, 8, 6, 7, 2, 0};

	var lowNums = numbers.Execute<IEnumerable<int>>("Where(n => n < 5)");

	var sb = new StringBuilder();

	sb.AppendLine("Numbers < 5:");
	foreach (var x in lowNums)
	{
		sb.AppendLine(x.ToString());
	}

	My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.LinqExecute, uiResult, sb);
}

Result

Numbers < 5:
4
1
3
2
0

Where - Simple 2

This C# example uses the LINQ Where method with a dynamic expression to find all products that are out of stock.

LINQ

private void uiWhere_Simple_2_LINQ_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	var products = My.GetProductList();

	var soldOutProducts = products.Where(prod => prod.UnitsInStock == 0);

	var sb = new StringBuilder();

	sb.AppendLine("Sold out products:");
		foreach (var product in soldOutProducts)
		{
			sb.AppendLine("{0} is sold out!", product.ProductName);
		}

	My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.Linq, uiResult, sb);
}

LINQ Dynamic

private void uiWhere_Simple_2_LINQ_Dynamic_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	var products = My.GetProductList();

	var soldOutProducts = products.Where(prod => "prod.UnitsInStock == 0");

	var sb = new StringBuilder();

	sb.AppendLine("Sold out products:");
		foreach (var product in soldOutProducts)
		{
			sb.AppendLine("{0} is sold out!", product.ProductName);
		}

	My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.LinqDynamic, uiResult, sb);
}

LINQ Execute

private void uiWhere_Simple_2_LINQ_Execute_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	var products = My.GetProductList();

	var soldOutProducts = products.Execute<IEnumerable<My.Product>>("Where(prod => prod.UnitsInStock == 0)");

	var sb = new StringBuilder();

	sb.AppendLine("Sold out products:");
		foreach (var product in soldOutProducts)
		{
			sb.AppendLine("{0} is sold out!", product.ProductName);
		}

	My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.LinqExecute, uiResult, sb);
}

Where - Drilldown

This C# example uses the LINQ Where method with a dynamic expression to find all customers in Washington and then uses the resulting sequence to drill down into their orders.

LINQ

private void uiWhere_DrillDown_LINQ_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	var customers = My.GetCustomerList();

	var waCustomers = from cust in customers where cust.Region == "WA" select cust;

	var sb = new StringBuilder();

	sb.AppendLine("Customers from Washington and their orders:");
		foreach (var customer in waCustomers)
		{
			sb.AppendLine("Customer {0}: {1}", customer.CustomerID, customer.CompanyName);

			foreach (var order in customer.Orders)
			{
				sb.AppendLine("  Order {0}: {1}", order.OrderID, order.OrderDate);
			}
		}

	My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.Linq, uiResult, sb);

	var customers = My.GetCustomerList();

	var waCustomers = customers.Where(cust => "cust.Region == 'WA'");

	var sb = new StringBuilder();

	sb.AppendLine("Customers from Washington and their orders:");
		foreach (var customer in waCustomers)
		{
			sb.AppendLine("Customer {0}: {1}", customer.CustomerID, customer.CompanyName);

Where - Indexed

This C# example uses the LINQ Indexed Where method to find all digits whose name is shorter than their value.

LINQ

private void uiWhere_Indexed_LINQ_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	string[] digits = {"zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"};

	var shortDigits = digits.Where((digit, index) => digit.Length < index);

	var sb = new StringBuilder();

	sb.AppendLine("Short digits:");
		foreach (var d in shortDigits)
		{
			sb.AppendLine("The word {0} is shorter than its value.", d);
		}

	My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.Linq, uiResult, sb);
}

LINQ Dynamic

private void uiWhere_Indexed_LINQ_Dynamic_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	string[] digits = {"zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"};

	var shortDigits = digits.Where((digit, index) => digit.Length < index);

	var sb = new StringBuilder();

	sb.AppendLine("Short digits:");
		foreach (var d in shortDigits)
		{
			sb.AppendLine("The word {0} is shorter than its value.", d);
		}

	My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.LinqDynamic, uiResult, sb);
}

LINQ Execute

private void uiWhere_Indexed_LINQ_Execute_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	string[] digits = {"zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"};

The word five is shorter than its value. 
The word six is shorter than its value. 
The word seven is shorter than its value. 
The word eight is shorter than its value. 
The word nine is shorter than its value.
