背景:在接下来的一个月里,我将做三次关于LINQ的演讲,或者至少将LINQ包含在c#的上下文中。我想知道哪些话题值得花相当多的精力,这取决于人们可能很难理解哪些话题,或者他们可能有错误的印象。我不会具体讨论LINQ to SQL或实体框架,只是作为如何使用表达式树(通常是IQueryable)远程执行查询的示例。

那么,你发现LINQ有什么难的地方吗?在误解方面你看到了什么?例子可能是以下任何一个,但请不要限制自己!

c#编译器如何处理查询表达式 Lambda表达式 表达式树 扩展方法 匿名类型 这个IQueryable 延迟执行与立即执行 流与缓冲执行(例如,OrderBy被延迟但被缓冲) 隐式类型局部变量 读取复杂的泛型签名(例如Enumerable.Join)


当前回答

它不仅仅是LINQ to SQL,它的特性也不仅仅是嵌入在语言中的SQL解析器。

其他回答

Explain why Linq does not handle left outer join as simple as in sql syntax. See this articles: Implementing a Left Join with LINQ, How to: Perform Left Outer Joins (C# Programming Guide) I got so disappointed when I came across this obstacle that all my respect for the language vanished and I decedid that it was just something that quickly would fade away. No serious person would want to work with a syntax that lacks these battlefield proven primitives. If you could explain why these sort of set operation are not supported. I would become a better and more openminded person.

我认为Lambda表达式可以解析表达式树和匿名委托的事实,因此您可以将相同的声明性Lambda表达式传递给IEnumerable<T>扩展方法和IQueryable<T>扩展方法。

当然,这并不是“最困难的”,只是需要添加到列表中:

ThenBy() extension method

没有看到它的实现,我最初对它是如何工作的感到困惑。每个人都能很好地理解逗号分隔的排序字段在SQL中是如何工作的——但从表面上看,我怀疑ThenBy会做我真正想要它做的事情。它怎么能“知道”之前的排序字段是什么呢——看起来它应该知道。

我现在要去研究一下了……

我发现“创建一个表达式树”很难。有很多事情困扰我,你可以用LINQ, LINQ到SQL和ADO。净。

编译查询

The fact that you can't chain IQueryable because they are method calls (while still nothing else but SQL translateable!) and that it is almost impossible to work around it is mindboggling and creates a huge violation of DRY. I need my IQueryable's for ad-hoc in which I don't have compiled queries (I only have compiled queries for the heavy scenarios), but in compiled queries I can't use them and instead need to write regular query syntax again. Now I'm doing the same subqueries in 2 places, need to remember to update both if something changes, and so forth. A nightmare.
