I am trying to combine 2 query filters with the mongodb driver, but the framework returns just "System.InvalidOperationException: 'x.MyBool2 is not supported.'"
All of the following expressions succeed, except the last one, where I am trying to execute the combined query.
What am I doing wrong?
public async Task GetTest()
{
Expression<Func<PostDto, bool>> filter = x => x.MyBool1 == true;
Expression<Func<PostDto, bool>> filter1 = x => x.MyBool2 == true;
Expression<Func<PostDto, bool>> filter2 = x => x.MyBool1 && x.MyBool2;
var andAlsoExpression = Expression.AndAlso(filter.Body, filter1.Body);
var combinedFilter = Expression.Lambda<Func<PostDto, bool>>(andAlsoExpression, filter.Parameters);
var result = await Collection.AsQueryable().Where(filter).ToListAsync();
var result1 = await Collection.AsQueryable().Where(filter1).ToListAsync();
var result2 = await Collection.AsQueryable().Where(filter2).ToListAsync();
var result3 = await Collection.AsQueryable().Where(x => x.MyBool1 && x.MyBool2).ToListAsync();
var result4 = await Collection.AsQueryable().Where(combinedFilter).ToListAsync();
Debugger.Break();
}
Marc Gravell's AndAlso extension helped me:
static Expression<Func<T, bool>> AndAlso<T>(
this Expression<Func<T, bool>> expr1,
Expression<Func<T, bool>> expr2)
{
// need to detect whether they use the same
// parameter instance; if not, they need fixing
ParameterExpression param = expr1.Parameters[0];
if (ReferenceEquals(param, expr2.Parameters[0]))
{
// simple version
return Expression.Lambda<Func<T, bool>>(
Expression.AndAlso(expr1.Body, expr2.Body), param);
}
// otherwise, keep expr1 "as is" and invoke expr2
return Expression.Lambda<Func<T, bool>>(
Expression.AndAlso(
expr1.Body,
Expression.Invoke(expr2, param)), param);
}

Using this extension, instead of my AndAlso&Expression.Lambda part solved the problem.
