您可以在 DataContext 级别筛选 EntitySets。此类筛选器适用于用此 DataContext 实例执行的所有查询。
示例
在下面的示例中，使用 DataLoadOptions.AssociateWith(LambdaExpression) 来筛选截至 ShippedDate 的客户的预加载订单。
Dim db As New Northwnd("c:\northwnd.mdf")
' Preload Orders for Customer.
' One directive per relationship to be preloaded.
Dim ds As DataLoadOptions = New DataLoadOptions()
ds.LoadWith(Of Customer)(Function(cust) cust.Orders)
ds.AssociateWith(Of Customer)( _
Function(cust) _
From ord In cust.Orders _
Where ord.ShippedDate <> DateTime.Today)
db.LoadOptions = ds
Dim custQuery = From cust In db.Customers _
Where cust.City = "London" _
Select cust
For Each custObj In custQuery
Console.WriteLine("Customer ID: " & custObj.CustomerID)
For Each ord In custObj.Orders
Console.WriteLine(vbTab & "Order ID: " & ord.OrderID)
For Each detail In ord.OrderDetails
Console.WriteLine(vbTab & vbTab & _
"Product ID: " & detail.ProductID)
Next
Next
Next
Northwnd db = new Northwnd(@"northwnd.mdf");
// Preload Orders for Customer.
// One directive per relationship to be preloaded.
DataLoadOptions ds = new DataLoadOptions();
ds.LoadWith<Customer>(c => c.Orders);
ds.AssociateWith<Customer>
(c => c.Orders.Where(p => p.ShippedDate != DateTime.Today));
db.LoadOptions = ds;
var custQuery =
from cust in db.Customers
where cust.City == "London"
select cust;
foreach (Customer custObj in custQuery)
{
Console.WriteLine("Customer ID: {0}", custObj.CustomerID);
foreach (Order ord in custObj.Orders)
{
Console.WriteLine("\tOrder ID: {0}", ord.OrderID);
foreach (OrderDetail detail in ord.OrderDetails)
{
Console.WriteLine("\t\tProduct ID: {0}", detail.ProductID);
}
}
}
