The data reader is incompatible with the specified Entity Framework


I have a method that will return the bare min results from a sproc to fill a select menu. When I want the bare min results I pass bool getMin = true to the sproc, and when I want the complete record I pass bool getMin = false.

This is causing the Entity FrameWork error of "The data reader is incompatible with the specified"

The most relevant portion of the error

{"Message":"An error has occurred.","ExceptionMessage":"The data reader is incompatible with the specified 'CatalogModel.proc_GetFramingSystems_Result'. A member of the type, 'FrameType', does not have a corresponding column in the data reader with the same name.","ExceptionType":"System.Data.EntityCommandExecutionException",

Obviously the error is telling me that when the data reader attempted to set the property 'FrameType' that is was not in the query results.

Now I understand the error, what I am wanting to know is that am I goning to have t split up this sql sproc into two sprocs or is there a work around for this?

My function below

public static IEnumerable<IFramingSystem> GetFramingSystems(int brandID, string frameType, string glazeMethod, bool getMin)
{
    using (CatalogEntities db = new CatalogEntities())
    {
        return db.proc_GetFramingSystems(brandID, frameType, glazeMethod, getMin).ToList<IFramingSystem>();
    };
}

My TSQL below

ALTER proc [Catelog].[proc_GetFramingSystems]
@BrandID   INT,
@FrameType VARCHAR(26),
@GlazeMethod VARCHAR(7) ='Inside',
@getMin    BIT = 0
as
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
IF @getMin =0
BEGIN
SELECT c.ID,c.Name,c.Descr,c.FrameType,c.isSubFrame,
       c.GlassThickness,c.GlassPosition,c.GlazingMethod,c.SillProfile
        from Catelog.Component c
WHERE c.MyType ='Frame' 
AND c.FrameType = @FrameType
AND c.GlazingMethod = @GlazeMethod
AND c.ID IN(
SELECT cp.ComponentID FROM Catelog.Part p JOIN
            Catelog.ComponentPart cp ON p.ID = cp.PartID
            WHERE p.BrandID = @BrandID
            )
            ORDER BY c.Name
END
ELSE
SELECT c.ID,c.Name,c.Descr
        from Catelog.Component c
WHERE c.MyType ='Frame' 
AND c.FrameType = @FrameType
AND c.GlazingMethod = @GlazeMethod
AND c.ID IN(
SELECT cp.ComponentID FROM Catelog.Part p JOIN
            Catelog.ComponentPart cp ON p.ID = cp.PartID
            WHERE p.BrandID = @BrandID
            )
            ORDER BY c.Name
SET NOCOUNT OFF;
END;

Solution

  • To me it seems that both branches of the IF return different data, the first branch returns 9 columns where the second - only three. I believe the EF can't reflect the IFramingSystem from the latter. Specifically, the column FrameType (and 5 other columns) are obviously missing:

     ...
     SELECT c.ID,c.Name,c.Descr    <- where are the remaining columns
        from Catelog.Component c
     ...
