I'll say up front that I am doing some really scary things with linq on dynamic data.
But I can't figure out why this query fails to compile:
Error 1 The property '<>h__TransparentIdentifier0' cannot be used with type arguments
public class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
var docs = new dynamic[0];
var q = from doc in docs
where doc["@metadata"]["Raven-Entity-Name"] == "Cases"
where doc.AssociatedEntities != null
from entity in doc.AssociatedEntities
where entity.Tags != null // COMPILER ERROR HERE
from tag in entity.Tags
where tag.ReferencedAggregate != null
select new {tag.ReferencedAggregate.Id, doc.__document_id};
}
}
public static class LinqOnDynamic
{
private static IEnumerableSelect(this object self)
{
if (self == null)
yield break;
if (self is IEnumerable == false || self is string)
throw new InvalidOperationException("Attempted to enumerate over " + self.GetType().Name);
foreach (var item in ((IEnumerable) self))
{
yield return item;
}
}
public static IEnumerableSelectMany(this object source,
Func> collectionSelector,
FuncresultSelector)
{
return Enumerable.SelectMany(Select(source), collectionSelector, resultSelector);
}
public static IEnumerableSelectMany(this object source,
Func> collectionSelector,
FuncresultSelector)
{
return Enumerable.SelectMany(Select(source), collectionSelector, resultSelector);
}
public static IEnumerableSelectMany(this object source,
Func
To add insult to injury, the following works:
var docs = new dynamic[0];
var q = from doc in docs
where doc["@metadata"]["Raven-Entity-Name"] == "Cases"
where doc.AssociatedEntities != null
from entity in doc.AssociatedEntities
where entity.Tags != null
from tag in entity.Tags
select new { tag.ReferencedAggregate.Id, doc.__document_id };
It is only when I add:
where tag.ReferencedAggregate != null
That I get an error two lines before:
where entity.Tags != null // COMPILER ERROR HERE
Not sure what is going on
Answer
If I try just converting your calls to:
var q = from doc in docs.Where(doc => doc["@metadata"]["Raven-Entity-Name"] == "Cases" || doc.AssociatedEntities != null)
from entity in doc.AssociatedEntities.Where(entity => entity.Tags != null)
I get a different compiler error which perhaps reveals what is going on:
'Cannot use a lambda expression as an argument to a dynamically dispatched operation without first casting it to a delegate or expression tree type'
So I guess you have to overload the Where operator.
