LinqKit System.InvalidCastException When Invoking method-provided expression on member property.
- by mdworkin
Given a simple parent/child class structure. I want to use linqkit to apply a child lambda expression on the parent. I also want the Lambda expression to be provided by a utility method.
public class Foo
{
public Bar Bar { get; set; }
}
public class Bar
{
public string Value { get; set; }
public static Expression<Func<Bar, bool>> GetLambdaX()
{
return c => c.Value == "A";
}
}
...
Expression<Func<Foo, bool>> lx = c => Bar.GetLambdaX().Invoke(c.Bar);
Console.WriteLine(lx.Expand());
The above code throws
System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type
'System.Linq.Expressions.MethodCallExpression' to type
'System.Linq.Expressions.LambdaExpression'.
at LinqKit.ExpressionExpander.VisitMethodCall(MethodCallExpression m)
at LinqKit.ExpressionVisitor.Visit(Expression exp)
at LinqKit.ExpressionVisitor.VisitLambda(LambdaExpression lambda)
at LinqKit.ExpressionVisitor.Visit(Expression exp)
at LinqKit.Extensions.Expand<TDelegate>(Expression`1 expr)
....
Please help!
