I've added the Dynamic.cs file to my project and have set it's Build Action = Compile in order to get the System.Linq.Dynamic namespace.
However, when I try to use any of the new code I am getting an ambiguous call error; see below.

I have this query for getting data through Entity Framework, which works today. Thing is, i want to create the query dynamically, i.e build it up in blocks, but i can't figure out how exactly to do it. I believe if i can somehow save one of the values that i retrieve in the beginning i can do it, but now i retrieve it twice (probably a bit slow as well? Unless the compiler fixes it before quering). Makes sense? Here is the LINQ:
[code]....
I.e based on if various variables have values.
I have the code below could to rewrite from LINq to SQL to Linq to Entity.

The gist of the problem is that we have an alumni table (one record per person) and also a couple of other tables (one to many) that have degree info and interest info. In a search screen in our app you can search for criteria that spans all three tables (there are actually more fields and tables than shown in the example below but I am trying to keep it simple).
The code below works (properly returns people without degrees for example) but still feels a little clunky or over-engineered to me. Are there easier ways to do this? NOTE: I have been through quite a few iterations/approaches to making the correct data be returned.

I'm new on LINQ and I'm searching the best way to do this:
I have an object client that has a list of subscriptions. Subcription has a boolean attribute "Active". Now I want load only the clients with list > 0 and subscription active.
The question is: If a client has 3 subscriptions, but only 2 are active, how can I load only the latters ? I tried in this way:
[Code]....
The query selects clients that has at least one subscription active, but viewing the results, it loads also subscriptions not active of the same client.
Whats the best method to use with MVC? Entity Framework or LINQ to SQL?
View 4 RepliesIm working on a greenfield project and have to make a decision on the technology we'll use for the data access layer. Ive used LINQ to SQL for a few years and am happy and comfortable with this, but now with entity framework available this is another method to consider. Are there any pitfalls using entity framework as opposed to LINQ to SQL ? Ive read that there are performance issues with entity framework, is this true? Id really like to get an overall feel for using one method over the other, anyone have any thoughts/comments/recomendations?
