我正在尝试在数据集上实现过滤/排序/分页。我想按搜索字符串过滤,然后应用排序,然后选择该集合的子集作为页面。
代码如下:
IEnumerable<Manufacturer> manufacturers;
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(genericSearch))
{
manufacturers = db.Manufacturers.Where(l => l.Name.Contains(genericSearch));
}
manufacturers = manufacturers.OrderBy(sortColName, sortDir, true); // this won't build. it would
// build if i put 'db.Manufacturers' before the .OrderBy but then i lose my filter. it would
// also build if i used 'l => l.Name' as the OrderBy parameter but i only have the column name
//as a string from the client.
manufacturers.Skip(displayStart).Take(displayLength).ToList().ForEach(rec => aaData.Add
(rec.PropertiesToList())); // this is paging where i can use ToList()
如何执行此操作以允许使用列名作为字符串进行排序?
