Using a enum with flag in an Entity Framework query

Question

i have a enum type like below

  [Flags]
    public enum WeekDays
    {

        Monday = 1,
        Tuesday = 2,
        Wednesday = 4,
        Thursday = 8,
        Friday = 16,
        Saturday = 32,
        Sunday = 64,
    }


   WeekDays dw = WeekDays.Friday | WeekDays.Monday | WeekDays.Saturday;

   int dwInt = (int)dw;

   var list = query.Where(f => f.FromDateTime.DayOfWeek == dwInt "??????????? what can i do there????").ToList();

Answer 1

solution is here

 public static Dictionary<int, int> map = new Dictionary<int, int>() { { 0, 64 }, { 1, 1 }, { 2, 2 }, { 3, 4 }, { 4, 8 }, { 5, 16 }, { 6, 32 } };

//actually,this comes from the user interface, but we should focus on the database layer
WeekDays[] dw = new WeekDays[] {WeekDays.Saturday,WeekDays.Tuesday,WeekDays.Wednesday };
    
int[] systemDayOfWeekList = new int[daysOfWeek.Length];
    
for (int i = 0; i < daysOfWeek.Length; i++)
{
  systemDayOfWeekList[i] = map.FirstOrDefault(e => e.Value == (int)daysOfWeek[i]).Key;
}
    
query = query.Where(f => dayOfWeekList.Contains(((int)SqlFunctions.DatePart("dw", f.FromDateTime))));
