I have the following models
public class Person
{
public int PersonId { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public List<PersonRole> PersonRoles { get; set; }
}
public class RoleInDuty
{
public int roleInDutyId { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public int typeOfDutyId { get; set; }
public TypeOfDuty typeOfDuty { get; set; }
public List<PersonRole> PersonRoles { get; set; }
}
public class PersonRole
{
public int PersonId { get; set; }
public Person Person { get; set; }
public int RoleInDutyId { get; set; }
public RoleInDuty RoleInDuty { get; set; }
}
And now I can load all people with all their roles using the following code:
var people = _context.Persons
.Include(p => p.PersonRoles)
.ThenInclude(e => e.RoleInDuty).ToList();
But I wantn't load all data to List, I need load PersonRole according entered typeOfDutyId. I am trying to solve this with the following code
people = _context.Persons
.Include(p => p.PersonRoles
.Where(t=>t.RoleInDuty.typeOfDutyId == Id)).ToList();
But VS throw error
InvalidOperationException: The Include property lambda expression 'p => {from PersonRole t in p.PersonRoles where ([t].RoleInDuty.typeOfDutyId == __typeOfDuty_typeOfDutyId_0) select [t]}' is invalid. The expression should represent a property access: 't => t.MyProperty'. To target navigations declared on derived types, specify an explicitly typed lambda parameter of the target type, E.g. '(Derived d) => d.MyProperty'. For more information on including related data, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=746393.
As I understand I can't access property RoleInDuty.typeOfDutyId because i'm not include it yet.
I solved this problem with the following code
people = _context.Persons
.Include(p => p.PersonRoles)
.ThenInclude(e=>e.RoleInDuty).ToList();
foreach (Person p in people)
{
p.PersonRoles = p.PersonRoles
.Where(e => e.RoleInDuty.typeOfDutyId == Id)
.ToList();
}
devnull show the next How to filter "Include" entities in entity framework?, and there the same problem, I read it, and find the answer. Solve my problem can with the next:
var temp = _context.Persons.Select(s => new
{
Person = s,
PersonRoles= s.PersonRoles
.Where(p => p.RoleInDuty.typeOfDutyId == this.typeOfDuty.typeOfDutyId)
.ToList()
}).ToList();
