Cannot perform an ORDERBY against my EF4 data
- by Jaxidian
I have a query hitting EF4 using STEs and I'm having an issue with user-defined sorting. In debugging this, I have removed the dynamic sorting and am hard-coding it and I still have the issue. If I swap/uncomment the var results = xxx lines in GetMyBusinesses(), my results are not sorted any differently - they are always sorting it ascendingly.
FYI, Name is a varchar(200) field in SQL 2008 on my Business table.
private IQueryable<Business> GetMyBusinesses(MyDBContext CurrentContext)
{
var myBusinesses = from a in CurrentContext.A
join f in CurrentContext.F
on a.FID equals f.id
join b in CurrentContext.Businesses
on f.BID equals b.id
where a.PersonID == 52
select b;
var results = from r in myBusinesses
orderby "Name" ascending
select r;
//var results = from r in results
// orderby "Name" descending
// select r;
return results;
}
private PartialEntitiesList<Business> DoStuff()
{
var myBusinesses = GetMyBusinesses();
var myBusinessesCount = GetMyBusinesses().Count();
Results = new PartialEntitiesList<Business>(myBusinesses.Skip((PageNumber - 1)*PageSize).Take(PageSize).ToList())
{UnpartialTotalCount = myBusinessesCount};
return Results;
}
public class PartialEntitiesList<T> : List<T>
{
public PartialEntitiesList()
{
}
public PartialEntitiesList(int capacity) : base(capacity)
{
}
public PartialEntitiesList(IEnumerable<T> collection) : base(collection)
{
}
public int UnpartialTotalCount { get; set; }
}
