Repository with Linq

[Claudio Maccari]

Hi everybody,

I've just added some Linq features to Repository class.
If anyone is interested the code can be found in my fork http://github.com/scott4dev/Sharp-Architecture/

I've also send a pull request to codai.
This my first  pull so please forgive me if something is wrong.
Bye

I think features are supposed to be discussed here first, before
evaluating them for integration in the master repository.

Ok, no problem.

Following your suggestion please discharge my pull request.
If you want you can consider the code in my fork as proposal for a Repository with Linq features.

I like it!  I'll take a better look soon.

If we are going to expose linq from the repository, I would prefer we did it by using the specification pattern. So instead of allowing the query to happen outside of the repository, the caller hands the repo a specification that it then executes and returns a set. Here is a great blog post discussing exactly what I am talking about.

Hi Bobby,

in the production code I have also:

IQueryable<T> FindAll(ISpecification<T> specification);
T FindOne(ISpecification<T> specification);

methods.
Actualy the production code is slightly different so I need some refactor before posting it to github.com
I'll put this code in my fork very soon.
