How to get List of results from list of ID values with LINQ to SQL?
- by DaveDev
I have a list of ID values:
List<int> MyIDs { get; set; }
I'd like to pass this list to an interface to my repository and have it return a List that match the ID values I pass in.
List<MyType> myTypes = new List<MyType>();
IMyRepository myRepos = new SqlMyRepository();
myTypes = myRepos.GetMyTypes(this.MyIDs);
Currently, GetMyTypes() behaves similarly to this:
public MyType GetMyTypes(int id)
{
return (from myType in db.MyTypes
where myType.Id == id
select new MyType
{
MyValue = myType.MyValue
}).FirstOrDefault();
}
where I iterate through MyIDs and pass each id in and add each result to a list.
How do I need to change the LINQ so that I can pass in the full list of MyIDs and get a list of MyTypes out? GetMyTypes() would have a signature similar to
public List<MyType> GetMyTypes(List<int> myIds)
