The problem simplified is as follows: in Entity Framework i am doing a join involving 3 tables, and returning the joined result set, which involves (some) fields from the 3 tables.
var query = (
from t1 in dbCtx.TB_Entity1
from t2 in dbCtx.TB_Entity2
.Where(p => p.someCol == t1.someCol && t.IsActive == true)
.DefaultIfEmpty() //LEFT JOIN
from t3 in dbCtx.TB_Entity3
.Where(q => q.someCol == t2.someCol)
where t1.IsLatest == true
&& (t1.istatus == 2
|| t1.istatus == 3
)
select new {
t1.col100,
t1.col101,
t2.col200,
t2.col201,
t3.col300,
t3.col301
}).OrderByDescending(t1 => t1.ID);
var anonObjList = query.ToList();
Thus, at the end of the query I write a projection to select the fields i want.
Finally i run the query with .ToList() and get a list of Anonymous objects.
How do i modify the query to project into a List of MyConcreteClass
i.e. i want to be able to write something similar to
List<MyConcreteClass> myObjList = query.ToList();
You may assume my concrete class looks like
public class MyConcreteClass
{
public string Col100 { get; set; }
public string Col101 { get; set; }
public string Col200 { get; set; }
public string Col201 { get; set; }
public string Col300 { get; set; }
public string Col301 { get; set; }
}
You just use the object initializer syntax:
new MyConcreteClass
{
Col100 = t1.col100,
Col101 = t1.col101,
Col200 = t2.col200,
Col201 = t2.col201,
Col300 = t3.col300,
Col301 = t3.col301
}
