I had a query set up (lots of conditionals in the code deciding what Where()
clauses to add.
I found that if I did Take(5)
and then the Where()
clauses, I got nothing. But if I put it after the Where()
clauses, then it works as expected.
Is this by design?
Take(5)
should always go at the end of a query. You are essentially saying, once the query has been executed, to take the first 5 results. I'm not sure what happens if Take(x)
is executed before Where()
, but my guess would be it's just selecting the first x
entries in the database and executing the Where()
on that, which is not likely to return anything meaningful
