MemberInitExpression

[Toni Wenzel]

Hi there,

for the most times I'll select my objects using the common "select new {}" pattern resulting into an anonymous type.

But sometimes I want to instantiate an already existing type using "from a in source select new MyEntity() {Name = a.FirstName}"

Executing this I get an MemberInitExpression is not supported exception. I think the SQLBackend wants to translate this expression into SQL, but I only wants to retrieve the required columns and create the objects afterwards. 

How can I achieve to get this working? Any hints?

Hi,

The SQL Backend needs to translate parts of MemberInitExpressions into SQL, after all it must select the columns referenced within the expression (FirstName, in your example). Unfortunately, this feature hasn't yet been implemented in the SQL Backend, see https://www.re-motion.org/jira/browse/RMLNQSQL-35.

Best regards,

Fabian

Hi,

can you please give me just a few hints how to implement this?

Hi,

  I had to do something like this for my LINQ -> C++ back end. I ended up using an expression visitor that did the lifting. By the time it got called, relinq and others had moved the “new” of the tuple or custom object close to the de-reference. I’m not familiar with the SQL backend, but this might be useful:

 

                https://github.com/gordonwatts/LINQtoROOT/blob/master/LINQToTTree/LINQToTTreeLib/Expressions/ObjectPropertyExpressionVisitor.cs

 

  This also strikes me as a routine that could be made pretty generic and included in a utility tool kit with the library as many (but perhaps not all users) would be interested in using it.

 

 

Cheers,
Gordon.

Hi Toni,

There's a thread about that on the dev-list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/re-motion-dev/member$20init/re-motion-dev/dMIw3XTQWi0/xKFIbUgoPqIJ

The patch is still from back when this was all an SVN repository and there's some stuff missing in the patch (implementation-wise and with tests and code-style). But we do accept PRs so if you want to tackle that one :)
